After returning from the small town of Beckensfield, Mavey began to prepare for the election. He transferred several old workers from the factory and took them to the Eden Church where potion materials were stored. He got some seeds and consulted
Relevant personnel in the church have some knowledge about potion cultivation.
Although Ma Wei has not read any classics on potion cultivation, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is quite accomplished in this area. Among the ancient books passed down, there is a book called "Magic Herbs", which records many common potion materials and their
Artificial planting method.
Herbs with special effects are very dangerous, but as long as you master the correct planting methods, you can cultivate them on a large scale like crops. Some herbs cannot be grown artificially, such as Langtouwu. Unless you take the detoxifying potion at the first time, it will be close to the value of Langtouwu.
Humans will be infected with black poison until they turn into wolves.
Of course, this did not trouble Ma Wei. He borrowed "Magic Herbs" and based on the above content, he divided herbal medicines into three categories: harmless, harmful and high-risk.
With the help of Archbishop Brandon, "The Times", "Daily Mail" and other large-circulation newspapers have published detailed information about herbal medicine, and at the same time require churches to explain it at fixed masses every Friday, and then draw pictures
Illustrated newspapers were posted in the streets and alleys to warn illiterate residents.
Two days later, with the push of the church, the Parliament urgently passed the "Magic Potion Trading Act", allowing citizens to freely buy and sell potions, but the sale, purchase and storage of potions must be reviewed by the church.
, a business qualification certificate will be issued after passing.
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 the new trend caused an uproar in London. Many businessmen believed that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune. They frantically bought fields and established companies, hoping to make some money following the Manstein Potion Company.
..
The nobles also entered the venue. Except for the small town of Beaconsfield, many nobles issued orders to the residents of their own territories to grow herbal medicines. For a while, everyone was talking about extraordinary herbal medicines, and there were even people who claimed to be experts in herbal medicine cultivation.
He showed up, gave lectures, and made a lot of money.
Church of Eden.
"Mr. Nicholas, this is last month's inventory list. Please take a look."
The monk responsible for counting the inventory placed a document on Mavey's desk. Just as Mavey was checking the inventory, Archbishop Brandon and Pope Ubli I came.
"Nicholas, stop being busy now and come with us."
Mawei, who didn't know what happened, put down the documents and followed Archbishop Brandon to the prison of extraordinary creatures under the Church of Eden. One month later, the number of extraordinary creatures imprisoned here has increased significantly and has reached close to two hundred.
Already.
Pope Ubli I stopped in front of a row of giant glass tanks. Each glass tank was two meters high, filled with sea water, and swimming in it was a strong mermaid.
Boom!
Boom!
As soon as they saw Ubli I, the four mermaids immediately became restless and bumped their heads against the glass, revealing their fangs and vertical pupils filled with evil energy, as if they wanted to jump out and tear apart all the humans outside.
Compared with when they were first caught, the four mermaids were much weaker. They could not even break the fragile glass tank. The reason for their weakness was the high-level magic potion mercury blood that was dripped into the tank every day. They lived in a toxin-filled environment all day long.
In the water source, it cannot exert its strength at all.
Looking across the four glass tanks, Ubli I raised his hand and pointed at 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 strong as the other three mermaids, and is still in its infancy. Several monks came forward with hooked fishing nets, caught the mermaid around the neck, and dragged it out.
The glass tank was then covered with fishing nets and hung high.
Just when Ma Wei thought that Ubli I was going to use torture on the mermaid and force it to shed tears, Ubli I actually said: "Yes, this is it, Brandon, send it to the Kingdom of Frederick.
Consider it a national gift."
"yes."
"His Majesty the Pope, what are you..."
"Oh, Nicholas, I forgot to tell you." Ubli I turned around and said, "Next month is the birth day of Scyracula, the God of Judgment. This is a major event for the Judgment God. In the past, we would also give gifts every year.
Gift, this time I plan to give this mermaid to them."
"As for the remaining three mermaids..."
Ubli I thought for a moment: "Before you came back, the church had used various means to make them shed tears. This is why I called you here this time. I heard Brandon say that the plant you made
The obsession flower hasn’t been used yet?”
"Yes, I only feed it regularly, there is no blood, and the obsession flower is still ownerless."
"This should be our last resort." Ubli I said: "It is recorded in ancient books that mermaids will shed tears when their partners die. 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.
Kill her, what do you think?"
"Isn't this too cruel?"
"There are many female death row inmates 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: "Choose the candidates.
I have already found her, and the church has given her family a sum of money. She is willing to become an experimental subject. As long as the experiment passes, we will get countless tears!"
Obviously, Ubli I planned to use the three captured mermaids many times. One obsession flower can only have one owner, but a drop of mermaid tears can make many obsession flowers. If reused, a lot can be squeezed out of the mermaid.
tears.
"You mean, use the infatuation flower to make the mermaid fall in love with multiple human women, and then execute them to force the mermaid to shed tears?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, this is just a conjecture. Whether it can be successful or not will only be known after the experiment."
When he first caught the mermaid, Archbishop Brandon said something similar. At that time, Ma Wei declined on the grounds that he did not bring the obsession flower. Now that he mentioned it again, he had no reason to refuse.
"The obsession flower is at the grocery store. I'll bring it over tomorrow."
"I'll leave this matter to you and Brandon. Just tell me the result later."
After giving the explanation, Ubli I took several 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 several times: "Let's go!"
"...coming."
After leaving the prison and returning to the steps of Eden Church, Archbishop Brandon asked: "Do you think it is too inhumane for the church to do this?"
"Fortunately, not only did these mermaids attack us on the way to escape, they also attack fishing boats on a regular basis. There is nothing to be pitiful about."
"You are right to think so." Archbishop Brandon nodded with satisfaction: "There should be absolutely no sympathy for extraordinary creatures. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the giant wolf you invited to help...
.If we use this method to extract tears, it will not affect your friendship with the extraordinary creatures of the ocean, right?"
"Won't."
"Speak out if it affects you. It's just three mermaids. How many tears can they produce? As long as you maintain a good relationship with them, you can shed as many tears as you want!"
"Indeed not."
"That's good, eh? Where's your daughter? She's been following you all day long, why isn't she here today?"
Only then did Archbishop Brandon realize that Yunia was not there, and suddenly felt that something was missing, making him very uncomfortable.
"She and Felix sent Jonas to school." Mawei said: "I took half a month's leave, and I have to go back to class after all. I didn't go there because I had something to do, and I came back in the afternoon."
"Is your daughter four years old?"
"I'll be five in a few months."
"Is it time to hire a tutor for her?" Archbishop Brandon asked with concern: "I think those big aristocrats hire teachers to teach their children when they are three years old. You are also a famous aristocrat now, so don't live there.
If you only have 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 life of gentle and soft jade. It is too easy to achieve these things.
If you include assets, Ma Wei should be one of the richest people in London now. Even if he does nothing and lies at home and sleeps all day long, his assets will not shrink, but will expand at an alarming rate.
Money can really make money.
Although the life described by Archbishop Brandon is good, it is not what Mavey wants.
To be precise, Ma Wei has already experienced the life of an aristocrat, and it is not that important. What he wants to pursue is a higher level of self-realization.
Just like many nobles like to do charity, this is also a kind of self-realization.
When a person climbs a mountain peak and rests to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he will look at higher mountains and never stop chasing.
Self-actualization is much more exciting than enjoying life.
"I want to run for parliament. If I live in a villa and live a life that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, many people will be disgusted." Ma Wei casually found an excuse: "Let's wait until we become a parliamentarian."
"By the way." Archbishop Brandon seemed to remember something: "I almost forgot about it. Baron Frederick has hosted a family dinner tonight and invited you to attend. The second prince will also be there to discuss relevant issues.
Election matters.”
The candidate list for Lambeth District Councilor has been submitted. The election campaign officially started yesterday. In a few days, the polling stations will open. All citizens living in Lambeth District can go to the polling stations to vote. The person with the most votes will be elected.
Councilor for Bess.
Mavey has now entered the second prince's core social circle, and his status is second only to Archbishop Brandon and Baron Frederick, who is related by marriage. Mavey is running for parliament, and the second prince will of course help with suggestions. He does have experience in this regard.
.
In the evening, Mavey and Yunia were invited to the Frederick family villa in Ealing District. Tonight's family banquet was very formal. All direct members of the Frederick family were present, including the second prince's wife, Elizabeth.
"First of all, I want to congratulate Nicholas."
At the dinner table, Baron Frederick raised a champagne to Mavey, who was sitting across from him: "Congratulations to the Manstein family for becoming a nobility. From now on, everyone will be one of their own."
The candlelight flickered, and the dim 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, and raised glasses together to congratulate Ma Wei.
"These are all due to His Highness. Without His Highness's appreciation, how could I be where I am today?"
Mawei raised his glass and said: "And Stuer, I must thank him. As the first friend I made when I came to London, he provided me with crucial help."
Stewart's face was flushed, his mouth was pursed, and he drank the champagne in one gulp. He was so moved that he couldn't speak.
It's really touching that Ma Wei, who has already reached a high position, can still remember the original friendship.
After a conversation, the second prince was happy, and so was the Frederick family. Everyone gathered around the dining table, waving knives and forks elegantly, and enjoying the delicious dinner.
After dinner, it was rest time. In the living room, the second prince took out two cigars, threw one to Ma Wei, cut one open and held it in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.
"Huh...Nicholas, what's going on in the town of Beaconsfield? I heard that you sent people to help the residents of the town start growing extraordinary herbs?"
Ma Wei lit the cigarette and did not smoke it. He just held it in his mouth as a show: "Now the town of Beaconsfield has been completely cultivated with extraordinary herbs. I chose Borg grass, which is harmless. This is a medium-sized magic potion for detoxification.
The main material of the potion..."
The antidote is a medium potion mastered by the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny. It can remove most common toxins and is widely used. Although the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, which has the realm of immortality, is not afraid of toxins that act on the body, some toxins act on the nerves.
, then you need to take antidote.
For example, sleep toast affects the nerves directly, and the realm of immortality has no effect on it. However, the antidote can work, making the user wake up immediately.
"Recently there has been a wave of growing herbal medicine in the city." Baron Frederick said: "Everyone wants a share 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 defeat
Conservatives, win the Lambeth constituency."
When it came to business, the second prince asked Stuart to produce two pieces of information.
"In this general election, there are three candidates running for the Lambeth constituency. In addition to you Nicholas, there are also Conservative MP Donal Pat and former independent MP Gus Mendy. This is their profile."
While Ma Wei was looking through the information, the second prince said: "In the last election, Donal Pat received 8,755 votes, a full two thousand votes more than the Liberal Party members. He is your biggest competitor. As for Gus...
Mendy, don't pay too much attention to him, he only got a thousand votes in the last election and cannot pose a threat to us."
"Donal Pat is the vice president of the Pharmacist Guild?" Ma Wei frowned after reading the information.
"Yes, he has a high prestige in the pharmacist industry and is very close to the church. He just donated a fund to Bishop Fowler in Lambeth District half a month ago..."
"who?"
Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "Which bishop in Lambeth district?"
"Bishop Fowler, it's normal that you don't know him. He was just transferred from New Ross City in the West Island at the beginning of the year."
