Father Mavie

Chapter 574 Trap (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
After receiving the invitation letter from Mr. Steward, Ma Wei left for the Kingston area that night.

He wants to meet this Mr. Steward who controls the underground black market in person, and see who the other party is.

Levin also wanted to follow, but there was also news from Daniel that the potion products needed to be replenished, so Mavi asked Levin to go to Eton College to deliver things to Daniel, and he went to King Kong together with Junia and Edward. Ston area.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the carriage drove into the Kingston area of ​​South London. Although Kingston area belongs to South London, but because it is close to the most affluent West London, it is also a royal administrative area. Most people living in Kingston area are middle class. class, social elite.

The most attractive place in Kingston is the schools here. According to last year’s statistics, Oxford and Cambridge have the highest admission rates in Kingston, while public schools require district admission. This has caused the middle class and social elites to buy houses in the school district of Kingston.

The place where the housekeeper Mr. Mawei met was a public middle school named Edby, which was located in the center of Kingston. Even at night, the nearby streets were still brightly lit, and carriages and pedestrians could be seen everywhere.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Edby Public Secondary School. The driver jumped out of the back compartment and opened the door for Mavela: "Sir, Edby Secondary School is enrolled. The fare is 4 shillings."

From Flower Street to Kingston District, it crossed less than half of London. For such a long distance, the fare is naturally more expensive. After paying the fare, the coachman left with a four-wheeled carriage. Ma Wei stood at the gate of the school, momentarily I don't know where to go.

The gate of Edby Middle School was locked, and there was no one to be seen in the middle of the night, but the street opposite was very lively, with some people playing the accordion, surrounded by many people.

"Confused traveler—if you don't know where the road leads—you might as well go to the tavern—you might find something there—"

The singer sang loudly and pulled the accordion hard. After hearing the meaning of the lyrics, Ma Wei thought for a moment, took Junia and Edward to the opposite street, and found an unremarkable tavern at the end of the street.

The tavern has no signboard or signboard. If it weren't for the two drunks at the door, Ma Wei might not have found it. After stopping at the door for a while, Ma Wei opened the door and walked in.

wow——

A warm atmosphere prevailed, and the drinkers were drinking happily in the shop. The shop was noisy, full of noisy human voices. Ma Wei didn't like too noisy environment, and stayed too long in a place with high noise. The head will start to swell and ache, and the mood will become irritable.

In the humble tavern, there are all kinds of people, of all kinds, and you can even see scantily clad prostitutes soliciting customers. Just when Ma Wei felt that he had guessed wrong and Mr. Butler was not here, a waiter who delivered wine suddenly brought him a cup of tea. Have a martini and say, "Your drink, sir."

"I didn't order any wine."

"A gentleman sent you." The waiter said, "That gentleman is on the second floor. You can go up from the inner room."

The waiter pointed to the wooden door on the side of the counter, and left after speaking.

Mavi handed the martini to Edward, carried the curious Junia into the wooden door, and walked up the inner stairs to the second floor of the tavern.

The hustle and bustle gradually moved away. Unlike the noisy first floor, the second floor was completely dark. It seemed to be an attic, and the noise downstairs could be vaguely heard. In front of the window, there was a figure standing with his back to the attic. Mavie.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Butler?"

The figure turned around, and it was a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich face, with a well-trimmed mustache and oily hair on the back, in a suit and leather shoes, and holding a black cat in his hand. He looked Ma Wei up and down, and said after a few seconds: "What do you want from me, Herr Nicholas von Manstein?"

Ever since the man turned around, Ma Wei's eyes had been on the black cat. The black cat also found him, and turned its head a little embarrassed, not daring to look at him.

Little black!

There was a wooden table in the middle of the attic. Mr. Butler sat on one side, took out the lighter, lit the cigar, and lit the candle on the table. The candle fluttered up, illuminating his face.

"Sit down, Mr. Nicholas."

Ma Wei opened the chair and sat down, looking into Mr. Butler's eyes and said: "I heard that Mr. Butler is omnipotent in London. As long as the salary is enough, he can help solve any troubles. Is that true?"

"Oh, to outsiders, of course it is, but" Mr. Butler smiled and said very easy-goingly: "For you, Mr. Nicholas, the situation is a little different."

"Why is it different when it comes to me?"

"Because you have touched the ceiling of power." Mr. Steward said: "Behind you is the second prince Shukri, and behind the second prince is Archbishop Brandon. With their help, Mr. Nicholas, even if you want the moon in the sky I'm afraid I can't do anything about troubles that confuse you."

Power is like this. In the eyes of ordinary people, Mr. Butler is omnipotent, but Mavi is different. He is not an ordinary person. Even Mr. Butler should be afraid of the power behind him.

In the whole of London, the forces that dare to move Ma Wei can be counted on one hand.

"Your Excellency is too modest." Ma Wei responded with a smile: "Is there anyone who doesn't know Mr. Steward's methods? I think you will be able to help me solve my troubles."

"What trouble have you encountered? You might as well tell it and listen to it. If it can be done, I will do my best." Mr. Butler said.

"It's not a trouble, it's just that I have a batch of potions with unknown channels that need to be transported into the Kingdom of Windsor, and I need a safe and reliable channel."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Housekeeper immediately understood what Ma Wei meant. Now that there are potions with unknown sources, how can there be any potions with unknown channels?

Among the kingdoms, perfect potion laws have not yet been established. Without laws, naturally there would be no contraband.

And Nicholas von Manstein has a temporary permit from the royal family, and ordinary customs dare not stop it. Ma Wei has nothing to be afraid of, but he still comes to the door, saying that he has a batch of potions from unknown sources
Based on the above conditions, Ma Wei can also tell the source of the unknown potion.
Mr. Steward can only think of the Kingdom of Romanov and the United States of America.

Not long ago, a war broke out in the United States of America, and the situation was in chaos. The situation in the Romanov Kingdom was not much better. The economy was blocked, and the connection with other countries was almost cut off. It is impossible for the Kingdom of Windsor to compete with these two kingdoms. business.

They are the only ones that are qualified to be the source of the unknown potion that Ma Wei said.

"Mr. Nicholas has a wide range of channels."

Mr. Steward grinned and said, "It is indeed difficult to transport potions from unknown channels into the Kingdom of Windsor, but I have a solution."

"I knew you had a way."

"Forgive me for asking, which pier is your batch of goods currently stored?"

"The Crimean seaport, where the cargo was transported, was stopped by local officials." Ma Wei said, "You should know that the situation there is very tense at the moment, and I would not have come to you for help if it wasn't for time constraints. "

"Um"

Hearing that it was the seaport of Crimea, Mr. Steward smoked a cigar with a dull head. He was not driving up the price. He hadn't talked about the price yet. He was just thinking about how to ship the goods from the seaport of Crimea.

If it was simply forbidden to leave the customs, things would be much easier to handle, but the problem is that Ma Wei said that his goods were seized by local officials at the Crimean seaport, which suddenly increased the difficulty of shipping out the goods.

The problems in Kiev and Warsaw have not been resolved until now, and they have reached a stalemate. In the past two months, the Wisdom God Church has no intention of paying attention to the Truth Church. For four months, I have been pestering them all day to find out the whereabouts of the keys.

The Kingdom of Windsor is busy provoking a war against the United States of America, the Kingdom of Frederick is considered half of its own, and there are still a lot of problems in the God of Abundance. I heard that Caesar's hair is almost graying.
"I can find someone to clear up the local relationship and try my best to ship out the goods." Mr. Steward exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "As long as the goods can be shipped out smoothly, the next thing will be much simpler. Let the goods go to the Southern Continent first. There is a company there, and after packing the goods, they can be shipped back to the Kingdom of Windsor smoothly."

Mavi is very satisfied with this plan. The cargo that was lost in the Crimean port was done on purpose. When he contacted Dino last time, Dino mentioned to him the current situation facing the Romanov Kingdom. Goods such as wine and food shipped out of the Kingdom of Novus will be stopped and forcibly seized by the local army as long as they pass through Kiev, Warsaw, Helsinki and other areas.

This clue provided Ma Wei with inspiration. He could take advantage of this discovery and entrust Mr. Butler to come forward. As long as he uses his contacts, his network will be exposed.

Mr. Butler's laboratory can use the Metropolitan Subway under construction to secretly excavate the underground ruins, which shows that there are big people behind him. Before doing it, Mavi must find out who is standing behind Mr. Butler. In order to formulate a more perfect plan.

"Mr. Nicholas, now, let's talk about the issue of remuneration." Mr. Steward flicked the cigarette ash: "I will help you retrieve the goods seized at the Crimea seaport, and you need to pay 10% of the total value of the goods As a reward, what do you think?"

"When you say the total value, do you mean the selling price or the cost price?"

"Of course it's the selling price." Mr. Steward smiled and said, "If it's the cost price, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make back the money I paid to bribe the local officials. Are you right?"

Ma Wei smiled silently, and changed the subject: "In addition to the goods seized at the Crimean seaport, I also want to talk to you about one important matter."

"please say."

"Do you have a channel, I mean, do you have a way?" Ma Wei narrowed his eyes: "Help me get some potion raw materials from the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"Haven't you already reached a cooperation with the Church of the Goddess of Destiny?" Mr. Steward asked suspiciously: "They will provide you with the raw materials of the potion."

"I always think that the big church has a lot of scruples on the issue of potion trading, and they can't let go. Besides, the price they set is too high."

"If you're looking for cheap, I suggest you buy potion raw materials from the Church of the Goddess of Fate."

The cigar was lit and dark, and Mr. Steward took a sharp puff and said: "The Church of Goddess of Destiny has demon hunters, and their cost of dealing with extraordinary creatures is much lower than mine. If you want to buy a large amount of raw materials from me, the price will high, not low."

"What if I offer you the blood of quicksilver?"

Mr. Steward's eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise: "If you are willing to sell me the blood of mercury at a low price, I promise to provide a lot of cheap potion raw materials!"

Blood of Mercury, an advanced potion specially used to deal with extraordinary creatures.

Its effect has been tested countless times.

Just when Mavi and Mr. Housekeeper hit it off and were about to continue their in-depth research, a sharp police whistle suddenly sounded on the street, and a dry, thin figure with a pointed hat and the size of a dwarf came in through the open window, bowed. Turning around, he said, "Master, something happened on the street. The demon hunters are arresting them, and they will search here soon."

The conversation was interrupted, Mr. Housekeeper was a little displeased, but there was nothing he could do. No one wanted to see unexpected accidents. He stood up holding Xiao Hei, and said to Ma Wei: "Mr. Nicholas, I will contact you again. Come here today."

"it is good."

"You can drink to your heart's content, and everything will be charged to my account."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Steward hurriedly left the attic with the dwarf in the pointed hat, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After they left, Ma Wei immediately came to the window and looked at the street below.

Many policemen wearing high boots had already appeared on the street. They carried revolvers and patrolled very nervously. The surrounding roofs were full of demon hunters.

This was a large-scale search and arrest operation. Ma Wei didn't know what happened. Judging from Mr. Steward's flustered expression, he probably had nothing to do with this matter, otherwise he would never have chosen to invite Ma Wei to meet today.

"What should we do?" Edward looked at the witcher on the roof and said, "Sneak away or stay and watch?"

"It's okay anyway, let's see what's going on."

Since she couldn't see clearly from the attic, Ma Wei simply left the tavern and came to the street. Within a few minutes, the street was full of people, and the short Junia was completely blocked by the crowd, yelling for her father to carry her. Wei had to let her ride on his neck.

"Sir, may I ask what happened?" A man who was also waiting to watch the excitement asked Maweila.

"I heard that there was an explosion in St. Paul's Cathedral!" The man said quickly: "Someone attacked St. Paul's Cathedral, broke the dungeon, and many prisoners escaped, even the Pope and the others were dispatched!"

"Assault on St. Paul's Cathedral?"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "That's the headquarters of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, who is so bold?"

"Who else could it be?"

The man glanced at Ma Wei contemptuously, thinking he was ignorant:

"It must be the monsters who attacked Buckingham Palace two days ago! After suffering a loss, can you not come back to seek revenge?"
