Chapter 857 Two Kings and One Emperor, Black Cat Cafe (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

In London, a new coffee shop opened near Greenwich Railway Station. The shop has no name. The logo is a black cat stepping forward. People around it call it the Black Cat Coffee Shop.

Today is the opening day of the coffee shop, with brand new glass, spotless floors, shiny copper handles and red painted wooden doors.

Different from traditional old-fashioned coffee shops, this coffee shop has been completely renovated. The large restaurant can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Judging from the menu hanging on the wall, the shop sells not only coffee, but also bread and desserts. , stew, steak and other foods.

There is a huge glass door that divides the restaurant into two parts. The left and right sides are decorated the same and provide similar food. The only difference is that there are many cats lying on the table on the right side, seemingly to provide some kind of food to the guests. A place of spiritual solace.

Before opening the door, Xiao Hei walked among the cats with steady steps, meowing here and there, as if he was lecturing. The cats listened patiently, and nodded together, including a few in uniforms. girl.

But from the outside, they look exactly like humans, but if you look closely, you will find that their walking posture and many detailed movements are different from humans, but very similar to cats.

They were cat people who turned into humans using the Siren's Tears, and they were selected and trained with great difficulty. After all, Xiao Hei had mentioned before that he wanted to open a coffee shop, and Ma Wei also agreed to this.

It sounds weird for a cat to open a coffee shop, but you won’t find it strange if you see a boxing gym and a vampire psychological clinic run by the giant apes next door.

Working independently can not only bring the benefits necessary for survival to the respective ethnic groups, but also keep themselves busy. The number of each ethnic group will increase in peacetime. This is a natural law, and the Truth Church cannot support them uncontrollably. It is only a matter of time before they become self-reliant. of.

Some stray cats who do not want to be adopted cannot rely on stealing to survive in human society. This way of survival is no longer feasible. The cat cafe opened by Xiao Hei is a pilot project, recruiting cats to work and paying them wages. , providing jobs.

If you don't want to come into contact with humans, you can go to the kitchen, or you can go to the Holy Trinity Fishery Co., Ltd. run by Fat Orange. These are industries under the jurisdiction of the Cat Legion and have official permission.

Initial training may seem troublesome, but from a long-term perspective, training is an inevitable process, and the most important thing is to be able to find the industry that is suitable for each.

The giant apes have no special skills. With the blood of the Frost Giants, they are powerful and suitable for strength work. In order not to conflict with ordinary humans, Fat Orange allowed the giant apes to open a freight company and conduct business with Holy Trinity Fisheries Co., Ltd. In-depth cooperation and opening a boxing gym are a small hobby of the leader of the giant apes, Walla.

If it is reasonable for the giant apes to open a boxing gym and a freight company, it is somewhat beyond Ma Wei's expectation for the vampires to open a psychological clinic. Primary mental problems cannot be solved by the realm of immortality, such as depression, insomnia, and a series of other problems. For psychological diseases that need to be induced, sleeping toast alone will definitely not be enough. Sleeping toast is not a panacea, but the vampires can just make up for this shortcoming.

Whether it's depression, insomnia, or the trough period after a breakup, if you can't get out of it, the vampire can perform suggestive hypnosis on you, so that you can forget the troubles of depression and sleep peacefully.

At the same time, the vampires also have unique talents when it comes to cardiovascular diseases.

The field of immortality charges high fees. Even if you pay insurance, you still have to wait in line even if your life is not in danger. For this reason, many small clinics are doing a prosperous business. Among them, Watson's surgical clinic is very popular, but the patients come to see the vampires. Vampires who can observe blood can not only control the blood flow rate, but also remove blood clots and give advice on patients' blood problems. It is currently so popular that Watson once struggled with whether to turn the clinic into an internal medicine clinic.

"Cheer up, meow!"

The wall clock on the wall kept beating, and there were only a few minutes left before the 10 o'clock opening time. Xiao Hei walked around anxiously to get all the employees ready.

Today is the first day of business, which is very important. Xiao Hei, who had only advertised it in the newspaper, didn't know how many customers would come to the door, so he felt uneasy.

As soon as 10 o'clock arrived, the coffee shop put up the [Open] sign. Xiao Hei looked out the door eagerly. With a 'ding', the bell hanging on the door rang, and the first customer came in.

"Boss, let me tell you, Xiao Hei must be here!"

Levin was the first to enter the store, touched the head of the cat next to him, sat down at the table, and glanced at the menu on the wall: "Bring me a cup of coffee, two packets of sugar, double milk, and a piece of jam bread. .”

Xiao Hei glared at Levin, walked up to Ma Wei, rubbed his ankle, and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

"Today is your first day of business, and we are here to support you."

There is no disguise, no disguise, Mavi appears with his true face, even Yunia appears.

As soon as subsequent customers entered the store, they saw Ma Wei and Yunia sitting in the corner. Many people’s first reaction was to rub their eyes, wondering if they were dazzled. Then the news spread, and the number of people near the station was low. It was so big that it quickly attracted countless people, filling the coffee shop with water.

Scotland Yard police came out to maintain law and order, the store was full, and even the pope and goddess visited a store. Who wouldn’t want to try it?

Believers all know that the goddess loves desserts the most, and a store that can get her support will definitely taste good!

This is authoritative certification!

Some people dared to have the courage to say hello and communicate with Ma Wei, while some people only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to come forward. The store was full of people and bustling, and orders flew in like snowflakes. At this time, the people queuing up on the street suddenly It was quiet. When the customers in the store heard the silence outside, they stopped making noise and looked back.

A fleet of motorcades parked outside the store. They were the carriages used by the cabinet to receive foreign guests. The one in the middle was painted with gold powder and had high specifications. It was a top-notch product only used by heads of other royal families.

The car door opened and Katerina stepped out. The quiet crowd instantly exploded with chatter.

As a hostile country that once launched a war, the photo of Katerina, the new king of the Romanov Kingdom, has already been published in newspapers. Of course, some people who don’t read newspapers don’t know her, but rumors always spread quickly. Katerina News of the in-person arrival spread quickly.

Looking at the crowded coffee shop, Prime Minister Sean quickly signaled to his assistant David, asking him to immediately dispatch more police officers to protect the place. He had already foreseen the next development of the matter.

What a coincidence, Pope Ma Wei happened to be away from the church today and came over to cheer for Xiao Hei!

And today is the day when Katerina visits London!

Everything comes together, like a magnet, constantly attracting other people. People love to join in the fun, no matter where they are.

Walking into the store, Katerina saw Ma Wei who was surrounded by a crowd at a glance. As she stepped forward, the crowd automatically separated.

The passerby who moved a stool to sit next to Mavi saw Katerina looking at him, so he wisely stood up and gave up his seat.

“The croissants in this coffee shop are freshly made every day and the crust is very crispy.”

There was a familiar scent of perfume on the tip of his nose, and Ma Wei knew who was coming without looking back.

"Your Majesty, when you come to London, shouldn't you go see Arthur?"

"Call me Your Majesty, but call Arthur by his first name?"

"Okay, Your Majesty Arthur."

Ma Wei just felt that adding honorific titles was too tiring. If two kings were together, if they both used complicated and polite titles, a communication would waste at least a few more minutes, and he would also be very tired.

"If I don't go to see him, he will come to see me."

Katerina sat next to Mavey and looked at the menu on the wall: "Give me a piece of Nepeta Soup? What is this? I've never seen it before. Have one."

Xiao Hei ran over quickly and whispered: "That is an exclusive menu customized for cats, not for people to eat."

"Oh, let's change it to tomato soup, another plate of sausages, two more spoons of free pate, Yorkshire pudding, and a salad, without the broccoli, and sprinkle with vinaigrette."

When she heard Katerina's menu, Yunia looked up suddenly, as if she saw her confidant.

She doesn't like broccoli either.

The taste is very strange, there is no taste at all, the taste is astringent, like eating green belt.

After receiving the order, Xiao Hei quickly asked the kitchen to prepare it, and soon the fast food was served on the table.

Although the coffee shop can handle lunch, Sean, as the prime minister of the cabinet, must of course prepare a state banquet to entertain Katerina. This is the most basic etiquette. Even primitive tribes will serve the most sumptuous food to entertain guests.

Except for the cannibals, the guests are their food.

Katerina cut off a piece of sausage and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully. This was the sausage made by Chef Frederick himself. Eating it, Katerina remembered a hint of the taste from her childhood. Her mother liked to eat it very much. She is no exception to the sausages of Frederick's Kingdom.

"Your Majesty Katerina, please save some space, I have prepared a lunch for you." Prime Minister Sean reminded.

"Cancel it."

Katerina said calmly: "I will eat here. As for Arthur, don't worry, he will be there in a moment."

Will the king come?

Sean was stunned for a moment. You must know that Arthur has been busy with government affairs recently and has no time to escape. Even the arrangements for the luncheon have to be squeezed out of time.

There is no way. The war in the United States of America has just come to an end. The northern army has completely defeated the southern slave army and is sweeping away the remaining small resistance forces. The Apocalypse God System has also freed up its hands. The current international situation is tense. Arthur has been missing for several days. Rest well.

"The king is coming!" Someone shouted outside the door. Sean was startled. When he walked out of the store, he saw the king's carriage.

"Your Majesty! What are you doing?"

"It's so lively here, how could I not come?"

Arthur raised his hand to signal Sean to calm down, and then entered the store amidst shocked eyes. He took off his hat and gave it to the guards on the side, asking them to wait outside the door. Then he sat down opposite Ma Wei and Katerina and watched. Ask for the menu on the wall.

"Any recommendations?"

"The chef recommends cat claw cake, half a bowl of fish soup and boiled corn," Xiao Hei introduced at the side.

"Half a bowl of fish soup?" Arthur asked curiously: "Why half a bowl of fish soup?"

"Because the other half of the bowl was stolen by the chef."

"."

Even with Arthur's determination, he could not help but remain silent at this moment.

"Just follow the chef's recommendation. I don't have any dietary restrictions. Add an oyster platter."

After the meals were served, the two kings and the pope ate lunch around a table. People who had never seen this scene stopped to watch. Reporters who smelled the smell also ran over and took a picture. photo.

Seeing that Arthur's face was a little pale, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a few days, Katerina asked: "Are you still worried about the United States of America?"

Arthur glanced at the other guests not far away: "You want to talk about these things here?"

"why not?"

Katerina's tone was calm: "I am willing to share the national policies I have formulated with all the people, especially when dealing with some potential enemies. I never shy away. At the same time, I also believe that people who know the general direction will support me more. "

"In this war, many new weapons appeared in the United States of America"

With a snap of his fingers, the guard delivered a document package to Arthur. After opening it, there were countless confidential documents marked with red marks, including many photos sent back by spies.

In the photos, in addition to some blurry factory machines, there are also many scenes of soldiers fighting on the battlefield. They charge with weapons and different skin colors, while those street photos record the lives of civilians.

For ordinary people, it may be difficult to detect the information these photos want to convey, but Katerina saw it. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she pushed the documents to Ma Wei, looked into Arthur's eyes and said: "You put these I brought the documents and planned to hold talks here.”

Arthur smiled noncommittally and asked, "Father, have you finished reading?"

Nodding slowly, Ma Wei put the documents and photos back into the bag, took a deep breath and said, "The war in the United States of America lasted for a whole year, but even in the war zone, the supplies of ordinary residents were still met, and the clothes they wore were There are no patches either, and the leather shoes can even be polished.”

"Leisurely and not urgent." Katerina said: "This proves that the overall national strength of the United States of America is very strong. According to preliminary statistics on their import and export of materials in recent years, their crops, meat, and dairy products are very rich. After meeting the basic supply and demand, it can also be sold to other countries.”

Arthur said in a serious tone: "Not only that, they have invented many new weapons. The minigun you have used is just one of them. Now the army of the United States of America is equipping copper primer bullets on a large scale."

As he spoke, Arthur took out a cylindrical bullet from his arms and placed it on the table. The copper sheet was tightly attached to the bullet, and the bottom surface was smooth and round.

"The craftsmanship is superb."

Katerina's expression became even more solemn.

"Can the arsenal of the Romanov Kingdom produce bullets of such craftsmanship?"

"Yes, but the production is limited and it is impossible to assemble the army on a large scale."

"Here's the key." Arthur took a deep breath: "The industrial level of the United States of America can already be equipped with copper bullets on a large scale. Their industrial level is almost the same as that of the Kingdom of Windsor."

In terms of land area, excluding colonies, the Kingdom of Windsor is vastly different from the United States of America.

The Kingdom of Windsor is an island country with a temperate maritime climate. It is mild and humid all year round, but the weather is changeable. Sometimes it is sunny one second and pouring rain the next.

On the other hand, the United States of America has a territory second only to the Kingdom of Manitoba and the Romanov Kingdom. The climate is warm and humid. The mountains on the east and west sides create unique climate conditions for the inland. The area of ​​cultivated land exceeds the territory of itself. The Romanov Kingdom, number one in the world.

In addition, the United States of America also has obvious maritime advantages. It has a long coastline and many excellent ports. The Florida Peninsula protruding in the southeast has also created an inland sea, which has the dual advantages of ocean and land.

Bonaparte's First Empire also had dual advantages on land and sea, but its territory was too small to fully utilize it. In addition, the pioneers brought a large amount of advanced technology with them when they immigrated, and the population grew wildly due to the gold rush.

In recent years, the development speed of the United States of Citi has long surpassed that of the Central Continent, which limits each other and is wary of each other.

If it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before it is surpassed.

"I didn't expect, Father, that your original prediction would come true so soon." Arthur said, "The United States of Citi has indeed posed a threat to the Kingdom of Windsor, and it has reached an imminent level."

Katerina thought about it and said, "Back then, there was a businessman from the United States of America. What was his name?"

"Finn Drost," Mavi answered.

"Yes, that's him, the envoy of the Drost family. He wanted to buy the far east of the Romanov Kingdom. I was a little tempted at the time. Looking back now, fortunately I didn't agree."

The sale of the far east land bordering the Kingdom of Manitoba was not only to break the economic blockade of the Apocalypse God System, but also to prevent the Kingdom of Windsor from controlling the Kingdom of Manitoba from attacking the Romanov Kingdom from the east.

As long as the Far East is sold to the United States of Citi, the United States of Citi can stand between the Kingdom of Romanov and the Kingdom of Manitoba, forming a natural international barrier.

At that time, Katerina didn't know about Mavey's Northern Alliance plan. Facing the crisis situation, cooperation with the United States of Citi was not a bad thing.

but.

If Katerina had agreed to the request of the United States of America and sold the Far East, the war with the Kingdom of Windsor might have ended more easily, but at the same time she would have lost the Northern Alliance's biggest advantage!

Today, the Northern Alliance has completely controlled the north of the world and the Far North Sea. All the northern kingdoms have joined the alliance and become one.

On the other hand, if the Apocalypse God System can get help from the United States of Citi, they can also control most countries in the middle of the world and compete with the Church of Truth.

"Do you want to tell the secrets of the United States of America to the Apocalypse God System?" Arthur thought of the Free Association.

"it's useless."

Mawei shook his head: "Nereida is the God of Apocalypse. How can He not know what the United States of Citi looks like? He must know, but He has other plans."

"We must get support from the southern countries including the Aztec Empire. Only in this way can we break the layout of the Apocalypse God System and occupy a favorable position."

While they were talking, lunch had been finished, and the cat girls brought tea and coffee. Arthur took a sip from the cup and said, "Let's talk slowly, it's not something that can be decided in a few words."

"Where are Duke Ivanovich and the others?" Katerina suddenly asked.

"In a suburban manor."

"Hand them over to the Romanov Kingdom."

Arthur was a little hesitant. After all, Duke Ivanovich came here as a political refugee. If he was not protected and handed over to the Romanov Kingdom instead, the subsequent consequences would be too bad.

"If you are worried, sign an extradition treaty."

Katerina said calmly: "Duke Ivanovich and the others have committed unforgivable treason and deserve to be punished."
