"How crazy... He actually wants to poison the king and get the throne."
At night, at the Regent's Park Villa, the fourth prince held a glass of whiskey and sipped the amber liquid with a calm expression.
Ma Wei, who was sitting opposite, said: "I have written a letter to the person in charge of the Voodoo Kingdom branch. This is an exclusive secret letter. The eldest prince will be able to get the soul potion within half a month at most."
"So, I still have one and a half months to prepare?"
It takes half a month to get the soul potion, and a month to take effect. It sounds like a long time, but in reality it only takes a blink of an eye.
"I don't think you have anything to prepare."
"If you're not prepared...are you going to hand over the throne to someone else?"
Arthur shook the cup gently and suddenly asked: "Am I really important in the eyes of the Church of Destiny?"
"It's certainly important that you can maintain the stability of the West Island. I don't think the Church of the Three Destinies will stop you from ascending to the throne."
"In that case, the throne seems to be in my possession." Arthur smiled: "As long as I report Charles to the church and say that he plans to poison the king, won't he be ruined?"
"After Charles falls, the remaining Shoukry has nothing to fear. I have the support of the Labor Party and I can easily deal with him."
Arthur stretched out his hand and reached towards the chandelier on the roof. His long golden hair was scattered and his eyes were blurred: "It's been 12 years... This is the day I am closest to the throne..."
"Is it worldly power you are pursuing?"
"..."
The intoxication in his light green eyes faded away, Arthur retracted his gaze from looking at the chandelier, turned to look at Ma Wei, and said seriously: "No, worldly power is just the beginning for me. I said, I will let all
People remember my name and the woman who gave birth to me. This requires me to practice it throughout my life."
"You have not been dazzled by power." Ma Wei nodded: "In this case, I suggest you not to tell the church about the poisoning of the eldest prince."
"Why?"
"As former enemies and now allies, the second prince and the eldest prince are getting closer, and as former allies and now enemies, the gap between you and the eldest prince is getting deeper and deeper."
Ma Wei said word for word: "Betraitors are often more hateful than enemies. The eldest prince can put aside his past grudges and join forces with the second prince, which is enough to prove his hatred for you. In this case, if you report him, he will
If you support Shukri instead, you, who originally still had a chance to compete, will have no hope."
The rise of the Labor Party happened in the past two months. It is at best a new political party. Even if it has the support of many workers, it cannot compete with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party for influence.
Once the Conservatives and Liberals join forces, the Labor Party will have no chance of competing.
"Charles hates me so much, so it's even more important to get rid of him to avoid future troubles, right?"
"That's the theory, but I suspect he wants to frame the second prince."
"Aren't they allies?"
"Allies need to be divided. How can a person who can poison his own father get the credibility?"
Ma Wei shrugged: "It is impossible for me to trust the eldest prince. Today he asked the second prince to submit an election proposal to Congress after suffering from poison. At that time, I felt something was wrong."
Arthur narrowed his eyes: "To poison the king, the most important thing is to poison, and this process is in the hands of Charles. If he manipulates this link, such as arranging a scapegoat, and slandering Shukri who sent someone to poison the king...
Even if Shukri was given twenty mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly."
"Yes." Ma Wei nodded slowly: "I can't escape my involvement in slandering the second prince. There are very few forces that can buy taboo potions like soul potion. If I are removed from power, my successor will not be able to escape."
It’s Felix, and in the eyes of the eldest prince, Felix and Helena are very close and have higher win-win value..."
"Problems such as kings, political opponents, potions, etc. will all be solved easily. It's really a good way to kill three birds with one stone." Arthur took a sip of wine and sighed: "In terms of conspiracy, Charles has been good at it since he was a child."
Click.
At this moment, the door opened, and Gulhana, wearing a nightgown, walked in with a teapot. After pouring tea for Ma Wei and Edward, she asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
"About Charles and the others, you should sit down and listen together." Arthur pointed to the empty chair.
"OK."
Gulhana sat next to Arthur, Ma Wei took a sip of hot tea and continued: "The biggest question now is whether I want to hand over the real soul potion to the eldest prince, your highness the fourth prince, you have always said that you want it
Revenge, but I don’t know if the king is your revenge target..."
"I hate him, of course I hate him. I wish I could cut him into pieces and send him to the grave, but I can't do that. It goes against my bottom line."
Arthur clenched his fists and said: "I want him to see with his own eyes what a serious mistake he has made, and I want him to understand the pain of losing a loved one!"
"Three princes, who do you want to kill?"
"I will kill whoever killed my mother!"
"But you still don't know who the murderer is behind the scenes."
"Some people will say it, there will always be people who can't bear it." Arthur lowered his eyes and said calmly: "When the noose is wrapped around the neck, there will always be people crying and begging for mercy, right?"
"So you don't want me to give the soul potion to the eldest prince?"
"No, leave it to him." Arthur said, "As long as the elixir can't kill the king, that's fine. I just want him to breathe consciously. It doesn't matter whether he's lying on the bed unable to move or jumping around."
Ma Wei nodded, stood up and said, "That's it, wait until we get the elixir of blessing, and then we'll discuss the rest... That's right."
Mavie suddenly remembered something and said to Arthur: "I got news about Avalon not long ago. When things here are over, I will take you to the lost country."
Avalon!
The Holy Land of Knights!
Arthur's heart trembled, and the fingers holding the wine glass turned slightly white due to exertion. It took him a while to regain his rosy color, and his tense body relaxed.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Father, the Knights of the Round Table did not betray me because of their loyalty. I am also a loyal person, I am loyal to my people, loyal to my kingdom, loyal
To the ground beneath my feet, and of course...to you, Father."
"I wish you sweet dreams, Your Highness."
Putting on his hat, Ma Wei smiled silently, and he and Edward escaped into the shadows and left.
Ma Wei already knew the news about Avalon, and the reason why he delayed telling Arthur was to keep this trump card in his hand.
Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, no one can guarantee that Arthur will never betray them, especially when the throne is at their fingertips.
Now, Arthur no longer needs the help of the Church of Truth. He has established his own business and has gained the attention of the Church of the Three Destinies. As long as he is given some more time to develop, it will not be difficult to become a king.
The news of Avalon was thrown out at this time to remind Arthur that he had what he wanted.
And what Arthur said also expressed that he had no second thoughts.
Loyalty is loyalty that has been tested, otherwise it is just lip service.
Back at the grocery store, Mavi put Yunia to sleep, exchanged information with Levin, and then found Edward and asked about Gulihana.
"Vampires can sense different breaths. In your eyes, is Gulihana a normal human being?"
"It's no different from normal humans." Edward said, "But we don't rule out the possibility that she used magic to confuse my judgment. After all, you suspect that she is Paimon of the Four Supreme Pillars. She is much more powerful than me and is a direct descendant of the ancient god."
"That's right...forget it, go to sleep."
Half a month later.
A freighter from the Southern Continent sailed into the Port of London, loaded with raw materials purchased by the Manstein Potion Company. Since the international potion market was developed, a huge freighter has sailed to London every week, bringing raw materials and traveling time.
Full of potions.
The factory of the Manstein Potion Company has also been expanded. Now there are two large factories in London alone with nearly twenty production lines. A large number of finished potions are produced every day. The types of potions have also changed from one to the other.
What started out as a few species became a hundred flowers blooming.
The Manstein Potion Company alone is not enough for all this. The main reason is that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny opened its potion inventory to Ma Wei and shared many potion formulas, slowly forming the current situation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Manstein Potion Company is making money every day. Last month alone, Mavey received millions of pounds in dividends. He only kept a small part of this money.
Others were sent back to the Romanov Kingdom.
Along with the raw materials for the potion, there were also 'gifts' from the Southern Continent.
The captain handed this gift from the Witch God Cult to Ma Wei. It was not a big thing. It was a square wooden box. The box was filled with hay. There was a box buried in the hay. In the box, there were two bottles of azure.
of clear liquid.
Picking up one of the bottles, shaking it slightly, the clear blue liquid rippled like the surface of the sea. After opening the cork, there was no smell, but when you put your ear close, you seemed to be able to hear a whisper.
"Is this the soul potion...why are there two bottles?"
Ma Wei didn't know the method of refining the soul potion. It was a secret of the Witch God Cult, but judging from the previous soul refining methods of the Witch God Cult, the soul potion must also be some kind of evil product.
"Brother, there is another letter in the box!"
Levin, with his sharp eyes, dug out a letter with wax under the velvet. There was no name of the recipient or the sender. The envelope was completely blank and looked a bit strange.
"Dad, there is magic on the letter." Yunia reminded: "It's not an evil magic, but... there is indeed a fluctuation of magic."
The Witch God Cult sent the soul potion, which was a sign of goodwill, and the other party had no reason to harm him, unless the fact that he killed Gilbert Wilkin was exposed, but this was impossible!
Gilbert Wilkin's body had long been burned to ashes and scattered into the river. There were no traces at all. How could it be exposed?
Since Junia also said there was no evil magic in the letter...
With this thought in mind, Ma Wei handed the letter to Edward and said, "Open it."
"...."
After glancing at Ma Wei, Edward took the envelope, tore off the paint, took out the letter paper inside, opened it and took a look...
Nothing.
The letter paper is blank.
"Dad, the magic is applied to the letter paper..." Yunia said: "It seems to be encryption magic..."
"If it's encryption magic, only specific people can open it."
Edward returned the letter to Ma Wei. The moment Ma Wei took the letter, a wisp of green flame suddenly burst out from the letter and began to spontaneously ignite rapidly. The blank letter turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, and the smoke generated by the burning gathered in the air, outlining the outline of the letter.
A ethereal human head emerged.
"Dear Mr. Nicholas, I am Pope Anuba III of the Witch God Cult. Thanks to your great love, I have given our religion a precious gift. These two bottles of soul potion are my religion's return gift... Please remember, a bottle of
The soul potion with a cross mark on its mouth has been purified and can enhance the power of the soul, while the soul potion without the mark is highly poisonous."
The heads made of smoke began to dissipate, and Anubah III also sped up his speech: "Everything in the past has passed. Our teaching will not hold you responsible. I also hope that you can fulfill your promise and help our teaching return to the Holy City.
..."
With a 'hiss' sound, the head exploded and turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated. Ma Wei looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and frowned deeply.
Anubah III was able to contact him directly probably because he wrote a letter to Adams, the person in charge of the Voodoo Kingdom far away. As long as he has the letter paper, he can activate the encryption magic and create a letter that only he can trigger.
As for the content of the letter...
To be honest, it's a bit interesting.
Anubah III first addressed him by the name of Nicholas, and then said that he had received gifts, but Mawi never gave any gifts. The gift mentioned here is probably the holy city of Jerusalem.
In the second half of the letter, Anubah III mentioned the previous 'grievances'. The identity of Nicholas von Manstein was fictitious and there could be no grudges with the Witch God Cult, so the source of the grudges could only be
The identity of Mavie Enders.
The only connection between Marvel Enders and the Witch God Cult is Gilbert Wilkin, who was killed in New Ross City!
It seems that the Witch God Cult actually knew that he killed Gilbert Wilkin, but has not held him accountable for a long time. Now that it has been written off, it also proves that this matter has turned over.
The methods of the Witch God Cult were indeed beyond Mavey's expectations. Gilbert Wilkin was destroyed by him, so he would not have been discovered. The problem most likely lies in his 'soul'.
Thinking of this, Ma Wei picked up the glass bottle on the left and found a cross mark carved with a dagger on the mouth of the bottle, while the bottle on the right did not.
"The bottle on the left can enhance the power of the soul...it's a good thing."
The potion that enhances soul power cannot be used by Yunia, nor by Edward. The only ones suitable for it are Ma Wei, Levin and Daniel.
Ma Wei wanted to divide the potion into three parts, but Levin said he didn't need it: "I won't drink it. If the soul power increases to Nereida or Asis, wouldn't it be more troublesome? Brother, you
Drink."
"In that case, I will give your share to Fat Orange and the others."
Ma Wei thought for a while and said:
"Yes, Fat Orange and Xiao Hei should be allowed to drink it first. What if it's poisonous? Go and call Fat Orange and Xiao Hei."
