A snow-white cat walked up to Ma Wei and meowed softly.
Among the five children of Friday and Xiaomei, the fur colors are all different, some are blue and white, and some have pure blue or pure white hair.
Xiaobai is a cat with a higher genetic profile than Xiaobai. The hair on her body is not even a trace of color, and is as white as snowflakes in winter.
"It meets the conditions best." Fat Orange said: "It is bold and careful, and has the style of its mother. Most importantly, it is nothing like Friday. It is very brave."
Ma Wei bent down and stretched out his hand. Xiaobai immediately pressed close to him and took the initiative to put his head into the palm of his hand, rubbing it while making a slight purring sound.
“It really tastes like tea.”
Ma Wei nodded with satisfaction. Just then, Friday and Xiao Mei arrived. Knowing that Ma Wei wanted Xiao Bai to be an undercover agent and lurking next to the Supreme Four Pillars, Friday quickly shouted: "No! It's too dangerous! Xiao Mei
How old is it? It's not suitable for dangerous tasks!"
"Just let it go." Xiaomei said.
"Xiao Mei?"
Friday looked at his wife in disbelief: "Xiaobai is only one year old, how could he let it go?"
"This mission is no small matter. The Four Pillars are of course dangerous, but if Xiaobai doesn't go, other cats will continue to perform it." Xiaomei said firmly: "Compared to other cats, I know Xiaobai better, and I know him."
I am qualified for this mission."
"Keke Xiaobai is our child."
"It is precisely because it is our child that the priest chose it immediately." Xiaomei glanced at Friday: "This is an opportunity for it to exercise! It is also an opportunity for it to perform meritorious deeds! We have been blessed by the goddess and are favored.
Lucky cats, the church is in need now, if we cats with preferential treatment don’t rush forward first, are we going to let other cats do it?”
"On Friday, the canned food and dried fish you usually eat, and the flattery and praise you hear do not come out of thin air. When the church is in trouble, you have to take the lead! Rush faster than other cats! Only in this way can we be worthy of it.
Your usual pampered life!"
After being scolded by Xiaomei, Friday lowered his head in shame. He is the veteran of the cat army, and his qualifications are only a little lower than those of the original cats such as Fat Orange, Little Black, Scarface, Big Spot, and Ahua, but in terms of status,
, as the pet of Archbishop Levine, the treatment he enjoys in the Cat Legion is second only to Fat Orange, and is on the same level as Xiao Hei.
Despite this, it still didn't dare to talk back to Xiaomei. Whenever Xiaomei lost her temper, it would huddle aside and be scolded.
"Father, let Xiaobai get close to Freya."
Xiao Mei looked at Ma Wei: "I believe it can."
With the joint sponsorship of Fat Orange and Xiao Mei, Xiao Bai should have no problem with his abilities, but he can't just listen to what other cats say, he also has to ask his own thoughts.
"Xiaobai, are you willing to approach Freya for the sake of the church?" Ma Wei asked, while Xiao Mei translated.
"Meow!" Xiaobai answered with certainty.
"You have to know that Freya is the great demon of the Four Supreme Pillars. She is different from other humans. I don't know the dangers of approaching her. This is a very dangerous task. Even if you refuse, we will not blame you.
your."
"Meow!" Xiaobai held his head high, his eyes still firm.
Seeing this, Ma Wei nodded: "In that case. Emma."
Yunia stepped forward and stroked Xiaobai's head with her little hand. A red light flashed in the palm of her hand, and she received the goddess's gift.
"I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon. You can have a good reunion with your parents tonight."
The next day, afternoon, West London, Ealing district.
The Duke of Chevalier is the century-old Duke of the Kingdom of Windsor. He has a villa in the most prosperous neighborhood, which was awarded by the previous king. Although it is an old building, it has been repaired many times and does not show any signs of decay. It is still full of luxury.
the breath.
"This is where Freya lives?"
Levin looked at the manor-like villa with its huge courtyard and said in surprise: "This is the richest place in London. Is the Duke of Chevalier family so rich?"
Since the death of her father and husband, the Chevalier family, which is not prosperous in population, has only Freya. There is only one master, Freya, and dozens of servants living in such a large villa.
The ostentation is much larger than that of many nobles. It is more like a palace than a villa, and its scale is no less than Clarence House where the eldest prince Charles lives.
In the history of the Kingdom of Windsor, only the Chevalier family has such an honor as a nobleman with a foreign surname, and there is no other family in London.
As evening approaches, the villa hidden deep in the courtyard is magnificent and the light is different from other houses. It is even brighter than the gas lamp installed in the Second Prince's villa, just like the sun.
"Strange, why are the lights in Freya's house so bright?" Daniel noticed the abnormality immediately. He was at Eton College in the morning, and was called back by Ma Wei in the afternoon. One was to give him a letter from William V.
The second is to take him to the birthday party.
The invitation sent by Freya clearly stated the names of the three Manstein brothers, including Yunia.
Ma Wei, who was holding Xiao Bai, also noticed something strange in the villa, and made some guesses in his mind. He led Levin and others to the gate of the villa and met Freya.
Freya wore light makeup tonight, and her fair skin became even fairer against the red dress. When she saw Mavey, she smiled and said, "Nicholas, you guys are here so early."
"This is your birthday, so naturally it comes early. This is my gift to you."
Ma Wei handed over the white cat in his arms. For the sake of beauty, he specially tied a bow for Xiao Bai to make it look more like a gift.
"a cat?"
Freya was stunned for a moment. She often received gifts. Jewelry and diamonds were the most common. Occasionally, she received a horse. There were also pet dogs, but no cats.
"Isn't it too lonely to live alone in such a big villa?" Ma Wei said with a smile: "I hope this cat can accompany you and relieve your worries."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Male cat and female cat?"
"Male cat."
"Great, I don't like female cats." Freya took Xiaobai, who curled up in her arms obediently and let her stroke her: "Thank you, Nicholas, I like this gift very much."
"As long as you like it."
"Mrs. Freya, I want to ask."
Daniel asked impatiently: "Why are the lights in your house so bright?"
"Oh, I invested in a private laboratory. They are studying something called electric light." Freya said: "This is their trial work, a carbon filament light bulb. Unfortunately, the technology is not perfect enough, so it can only be lit."
It lights up for a few hours. For tonight, I specially asked them to install this kind of lighting device in my home."
Ma Wei was not surprised by the emergence of electric lights. In fact, bioelectricity appeared 70 years ago, and the voltaic battery appeared 60 years ago. The first generator and the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction were also proposed 30 years ago.
, with the foundation in place, it was only a matter of time before the electric light came out.
What really surprised Mavi was Freya. She was the first aristocrat in London to discover the importance of electric lighting and invest in it. This kind of foresight and foresight.
It is definitely not a good sign for demons to invest in human technology. Since the Romanov Kingdom period, Mavey has discovered that these demons seem to be learning, imitating and even studying humans intentionally or unintentionally. This is terrible.
Daniel and Mavey had different concerns. After listening to Freya's answer, he looked at the light bulb in front of the door thoughtfully. Levin noticed his abnormality and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"
"
"I'm thinking about the application of electricity." Daniel said: "The Kingdom of Frederick is completely blank in the field of electricity research, while the Kingdom of Windsor has already researched to the point of relying on electricity to produce light. We have fallen behind. I will write this in my letter later.
Remind my father to pay attention to electricity research."
"Well, you should pay more attention to it." Levin yawned and said casually: "Maybe electricity is a greater invention than the steam engine. It is right to pay more attention to it. By the way, tonight is my birthday party, can you
Can’t we stop thinking about Frederick’s Kingdom?”
"Brother doesn't seem to have considered the possibility of electricity."
Daniel ignored Levin, but looked at Mavi, who was chatting and laughing with Freya: "Don't you find it strange? Brother's sense of smell has always been very sensitive, but he is so slow this time. Could it be that he was stunned by a woman?"
"What are you two muttering about?"
A new group of guests arrived, and Freya went to greet them. Mavi, who had some free time, turned back and glared at the two people who were whispering: "You didn't even say hello, it's so rude."
"Brother, do you think this light bulb is very powerful?" Daniel said: "I think the Romanov Kingdom should speed up similar research, otherwise it will fall behind!"
"There's nothing strange about light bulbs."
Ma Wei said disapprovingly: "I know you are kindly reminding me, but the Romanov Kingdom currently has no spare capacity and no relevant experts to study the development of electric power. Only when the level of education is improved can the level of scientific research be improved rapidly. Without the support of education, only
It can send students to study in other countries, but other kingdoms are at odds with the Romanov Kingdom and do not allow students to study abroad, so you understand what I mean."
"That's true."
Daniel thought about it and found that the situation of the Romanov Kingdom was indeed very embarrassing. It had just experienced the revolution and was jointly suppressed by other countries. It was really difficult to develop, so it could only be done step by step.
"Nicholas! Haha, you are indeed here!"
Hearty laughter came from behind. The second prince took his wife Elizabeth out of the carriage, greeted Freya, and walked towards the door.
"Your Highness, you came quite early."
"Isn't it the same for you?" The second prince looked around and asked in a low voice: "I heard from Stur that you forgot to prepare a gift for Freya?"
"already solved."
"What gift did you give me? Potion?"
"No, a cat."
"Did you give that white cat in Freya's arms?"
"That's right."
The second prince said "Oh" and didn't know what to say: "This is really unique."
"Your Highness, if you like, I can give you one too."
"How many cats do you have? Will you give them away if you ask for them?"
"They are everywhere on the roadside, just catch one."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. The second prince never imagined that Ma Wei would go to such an extent. It would be better to give away a cat. The key thing is to give away a wild cat on the roadside.
It doesn’t cost a penny!
"Forget it, I'm not interested in raising cats." The second prince, who felt a bit toothache, said, "Let's go to the banquet hall. Charles and the others will be here soon."
"Freya also invited the eldest prince?"
"In addition to Charles, she also invited Andrew! The king will also come. In short, she invited everyone from the upper class in London who has a good reputation."
The Chevalier family has always had a wide network of contacts, and Freya did not participate in the fight for the throne. She only occasionally helped the second prince for the sake of the relationship. She was very close to the royal family and would not be determined.
Who do you support? Besides, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she is here for Ma Wei.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, guests arrived at the villa one after another. Freya kept greeting them outside. The eldest prince, the third prince and even the church sent a bishop to convey their blessings, which was enough to give Freya face.
In the banquet hall, the guests were having a heated exchange and were vaguely divided into three camps, headed by the three princes. It was not until the arrival of the king and the prime minister that the deadlock was broken.
As soon as King Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston entered the venue, the banquet hall became quiet. Immediately afterwards, many nobles gathered around the king, talking and laughing.
In the crowd, Ma Wei saw Professor James Morea. A young woman was holding his arm. She had a straight waist and a delicate appearance. Although she was not as charming as Freya, she had a hint of military temperament between her eyebrows.
.
"She is Natalia, the adopted daughter of James Morea." Levin said: "I didn't expect them to come too."
Ma Wei felt that Natalia looked familiar, and he recalled it for a long time, and suddenly realized that he had met Natalia. When he first came to London, in order to rent a grocery store on Flower Street, he used a trick to lure the demon hunter into action. At that time, there was
A woman with a ponytail is Natalia!
Recalling the other party's attitude when capturing the infected, Ma Wei found that Natalia was different from ordinary women, and her personality was probably stronger than Tiffany's. No wonder Levin felt a little troubled.
James Morea stood by the window holding a glass of red wine. Unlike other nobles who went forward to flatter the king, he put one hand in his pocket and combed his gray hair back, like a kind and elderly gentleman tasting red wine.
At the same time, his eyes slowly swept across the hall, and suddenly, Natalia said something in his ear.
James Morea looked out the window, and Ma Wei also looked out the window. A carriage slowly stopped at the door of the villa, and then the door opened. A black cane appeared first, followed by a briar pipe with a red light.
Diloch Holmes!
Seeing Holmes, James Morea drank up the red wine in his glass, handed the empty glass to Natalia, and walked to the door alone, apparently planning to greet Holmes.
"Now we have something good to watch," Ma Wei murmured.
