Father Mavey Text Volume Chapter 249 Mansion, Everything the old friend Napoleon said before seems to be to prove his talent and strategy to Mavey, in order to attract him.
In fact, he didn't need to prove anything. Napoleon had reached the level of using his name to scare his enemies.
On the other hand, Rhodes IV of the Kingdom of Windsor did not have a prominent reputation, at least not as prominent as Napoleon, and he did not do any earth-shattering things.
In terms of national strength, the First Empire of Bonaparte was not weaker than the Kingdom of Windsor. The Kingdom of Windsor was ahead in the navy, but the First Empire of Bonaparte was definitely stronger than the Kingdom of Windsor in terms of army.
When the national strength is almost the same, the wisdom of the leader becomes particularly important.
"What the Kingdom of Windsor can give you, I can also give you, and even more." Napoleon looked at Ma Wei, who was bowing his head in thought, and said slowly: "The Kingdom of Windsor is just an island country, and geographical factors have limited their development, so their
The navy will be extremely powerful, but now is the age of magic, and the importance of the navy is far less than magic."
"From my perspective, the Kingdom of Windsor lacks key resources, and Bonaparte's First Empire is located in the center of the Central Continent, with connections in all directions and convenient transportation. It will definitely become the center of the next era, surpassing the Kingdom of Windsor just around the corner."
"I have never won over a person like this. Mr. Nicholas, if you know me, you should know that the importance I attach to you is beyond the comparison of Rhodes IV."
Napoleon said: "What's more, Rhodes IV is already old. Anatole said that even with the blessing of the eternal realm, he does not need to be troubled by illness, but his soul is on the verge of drying up and he does not have much time left to live."
"Among the three princes of Rhodes IV, are any of them capable of taking on the important role of king?"
"It seems that your Majesty, you have investigated the situation in the Kingdom of Windsor." Ma Wei suddenly said.
"It's a good habit to know your opponent."
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 achieved a very high position in the Church of the Three Destinies. What else do I need?"
"Don't you want to build a family and continue the name of Manstein?"
"If that's the case, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Kingdom of Windsor and Bonaparte's First Empire." Mavey said calmly: "In fact, I already have everything your Majesty can give me. What I want to do now is development.
Manstein Potion Company needs the help of the Royal Navy to do this, so please forgive me for rejecting your invitation."
After being rejected, Napoleon's expression did not change at all, as if he had already guessed it. He just said lightly: "I have ordered the mansion to be prepared for you. The meeting time is at 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 southwest suburbs of Paris. However, daily commuting was too troublesome, and many kings also had to settle in Paris. Among them, the luxurious Elysée Palace was the favorite palace of successive kings.
After sending Ivan XIV to the guillotine, Napoleon moved into this palace justifiably.
Seeing that Napoleon had no intention of leaving him to eat, Ma Wei picked up Junia and left the Invalides. On the way to the mansion in a carriage, Maria said: "It's okay for you to refuse His 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, Mavey glanced at Yunia, his eyes telling her to hide the Siren's Tears and never let Anatole know about the Siren's Tears appearing in Paris.
"There is a saint in the delegation. If Anatole wants to force me to stay, Tilde, the goddess of sin, will definitely come to stop her." Mavey said.
"From the moment you entered the city of Paris, Anatole activated the shielding magic circle. The entire Paris was covered, blocking the prying eyes of other gods. Even if the saint summoned the sin goddess Tilde, there would be no response.
.”
Maria whispered: "If you want to get help from Tilde, the goddess of sin, you must leave Paris and perform a summoning ceremony outside Paris."
"Why tell me such an important thing?"
Ma Wei looked at Maria very puzzledly. The other party was a duke and aristocrat of Paris. Why should he help an outsider like him?
"Before you arrived in Paris, I received a letter from London." Maria said: "The owner of the letter is Freya de Chevalier, my cousin. She asked me to help you.
No matter what difficulties you encounter."
"You have never met, but just a letter can make you desperate?"
"The Chevali family has reached a life-or-death moment."
Maria said in a cold voice: "If there is no heir, the Chevalier family will disappear in history. As the only heir, I must consider the family. Although Freya and I have never met, she also has
The inheritor of the Chevali family bloodline, I am in a similar situation to her. If I fail, she will need to take on the responsibility of continuing the Chevali family, so I have to help her."
"Of course, the letter says that in return, Freya will send a child with the blood of the Chevalier family to Paris to become my adopted son and inherit the Chevalier family."
"?"
Frowning slightly, Ma Wei asked doubtfully: "Are you infertile?"
This was a very offensive and rude question, but Maria still answered: "I am not sure whether I have the ability to have children. After all, I have never given birth to an heir."
"Since you are not sure, why do you ask Freya to adopt the child to you?"
"because."
Maria said in an indifferent tone: "I don't like men. Lying in the same bed with a man makes me feel sick. I don't feel sad at all about my husband's death."
"oh"
Ma Wei suddenly didn't know what to say. This answer was really beyond his expectation.
"I have been asking Mr. Nicholas about your relationship with Freya just now, and it was also for her sake." Maria said: "From the content of the letter, Freya should have some feelings for you, why are you unwilling
Will you accept her?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Talking about such in-depth topics for the first time made Ma Wei slightly uncomfortable. He felt that he and Maria were not familiar enough to talk about everything.
For his sake, Maria seemed to have known him for a long time and said whatever she wanted.
Just when Ma Wei was trying to find an excuse to fool him, the carriage was suddenly stopped by someone, and there was a rapid knock on the door. When he opened the curtain, he saw that it was the Second Prince and others.
"Nicholas, are you okay!"
Seeing Ma Wei, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief. He glared at the helpless Benoit with great displeasure and said, "When we arrived at the mansion, we found that you didn't follow us. We immediately came out to look for you. Where did they take you?"
went?"
"I'm fine, Your Highness. Madam Maria just took me to visit Paris."
In front of so many people, Ma Wei certainly couldn't 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 behave as they would in London.
When they arrived at the mansion, Maria got into the carriage and left. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bonois, took everyone upstairs, arranged the rooms, explained the details of the meeting, and then left.
The mansion located on the Champs Elysées was specially built for foreign envoys. It was magnificently decorated and had countless servants, so any needs could be met.
In the room, Ma Wei took off his coat, waved away the maid who was waiting on the side, rolled up his shirt sleeves, walked to the window and opened it, letting the wind from the street blow into the house.
After resting for a while, the second prince came with Smith and Archbishop Brandon, followed closely by Yunia, Levin and Daniel.
After closing the door, the second prince asked: "Nicholas, have you really gone to visit Paris? I always feel that something is wrong. Those people in Bonova seem to have bad intentions."
"I was taken to Les Invalides and met Napoleon Bonaparte."
"What?!" the second prince said in surprise: "What did Emperor Napoleon see you doing?"
"Well, he wants me to turn from darkness to light, 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 sternly: "No! We can't stay in Paris any longer. We will leave immediately after the meeting!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave." Archbishop Brandon looked out the window at the street and said in a deep voice: "Look, the mansion has been blocked by the Royal Guards. There are also Knights of the Holy Silver Cross patrolling the streets. There are still two people in the mansion.
A bishop is resident there, and not far away is the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Anatole will not let us off easily."
"Isn't he afraid of provoking a war by imprisoning a country's envoys?!"
"It is impossible for the church to quarrel with the Wisdom Cult for us." Archbishop Brandon shook his head slowly: "Just now, Saint Melissa and I tried to contact the goddess and found that communication could not be established. I am afraid that something interfered with it.
The only person in Paris who can do this is Anatole."
Jeweler Smith's expression changed: "Then aren't we jumping headlong into Anatole's trap? What should we do?"
"Before departure, the Pope and I discussed similar emergencies. Once we lose contact with each other for more than three days after arriving in Paris, London will immediately send personnel to rescue. Let's hold on. As soon as reinforcements arrive, we can leave.
Already."
"Paris is covered by shielding magic. If you want to contact the goddess, you can only escape from the area covered by magic, which is Paris." Mavey said: "As long as you can leave Paris, Saint Melissa can guide the goddess Tiel.
Virtue comes to fight against Anatole."
"Only one goddess is not enough." Archbishop Brandon said solemnly: "This is Paris! Goddess Tilde can contain Anatole, what about the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross? We alone are not enough!
"
"Why not ask envoys from other kingdoms to help?"
A sudden sound in the room interrupted everyone's conversation. Everyone turned their heads and Yunia was startled: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No! You're right!"
Archbishop Brandon's eyes lit up: "That's right! How could you have forgotten this matter! We are not the only delegation in Paris, there are also delegations from the Judgment Cult and the Plenty Cult! They must have brought the Saint.
!”
"No matter how powerful Anatole is, he can't be the opponent of the three gods!"
"But why do they want to help us?" Levin asked: "Anatole is only targeting us, he is here for the eldest brother. The other delegations can pretend not to see it."
"The God of Wisdom wants to be the dominant one. This is why other churches help us!" Archbishop Brandon sneered: "For two thousand years, there have been many countries that want to unify the Central Continent, but what is the result? Don't look at the Central Continent.
It is a mess, and as long as a certain force appears that wants to unify the Central Continent, everyone will immediately unite and resist together!"
"Napoleon was defeated at the hands of the coalition forces back then, and now they think about it again and they really don't have a long memory!"
"Are other delegations also staying in this mansion?"
"That's right, the delegation from Frederick's Kingdom lives on the second floor, and the delegation from the Roman Republic lives on the third floor. Who should we look for first?"
Is this even worth thinking about?
When the second prince asked this question, everyone looked at him strangely, and in the end he even laughed: "Frederick's Kingdom is more reliable."
Although the Kingdom of Sardinia officially changed its name to the Roman Republic and changed its consuls, they are still the same group of people. Is it useful to change the soup without changing the medicine?
Compared to the Roman Republic, Frederick's Kingdom was much more reliable, at least it would not fall apart at critical moments.
After making up their mind, everyone took action immediately. There shouldn't be too many people negotiating this kind of thing. After much deliberation, they finally sent Archbishop Brandon, the second prince and Ma Wei. Counting Yunia, there were four. Daniel also wanted to
He went, but was stopped by the second prince: "As long as your elder brother is here, it's useless for you to go!"
The second prince, who was unaware of Daniel's identity, left the first crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick upstairs. In order to show their friendly attitude, they also brought a piece of freshly made sleep toast and two bottles of mercury blood as gifts.
Second floor, Frederick's Kingdom delegation room.
Boom!
Otto von Bismarck, who was standing in front of the window smoking, heard the knock on the door, put his cigar in his mouth, walked to the door and opened the door.
"Prime Minister Bismarck?" Ma Wei looked at the strange man in front of him in surprise. He had seen Bismarck's appearance in the newspaper and recognized it at a glance: "Why are you here?"
It was really unexpected that the dignified prime minister of a country would come to Paris in person.
"Nicholas von Manstein"
Bismarck narrowed his eyes, glanced at Archbishop Brandon and Second Prince Shukri, and said in Frederick: "Did you guys go to the wrong room? This is the floor where the delegation from the Kingdom of Frederick stayed."
Archbishop Brandon and the second prince looked at each other. They did not understand Frederick and could only rely on Ma Wei to translate.
"Prime Minister Bismarck, we came here specifically to see you." Mawe said in Frederick.
Prime Minister Bismarck was a loyal supporter of William V, and he was credited with providing cover for the Manstein family. He came to Paris in person, probably to have contact with Mavey and others, and to check on Daniel's current situation.
"come in."
Bismarck got out of the way and let Ma Wei and others enter the room. While picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine for the unexpected guests, he asked: "What do you want from me?"
"Come and seek help from Frederick's kingdom."
"help."
Bismarck cast a sidelong glance at Mawei and the others, and sneered: "I am a Frederick, but I have become a citizen of the Kingdom of Windsor. Now I come to us for help. Isn't it too much?"
