Father Mavie

Chapter 686 Acquisition, treasure house

When Mavi and Archbishop Brandon came to the small town of Baconsfield, many people had already gathered outside the town.

Judging from the attire, most of them are businessmen, and there are even a few familiar nobles. The small town of Baconsfield on the outskirts of London has not been so lively for a long time. The mayor wore his most expensive clothes early in the morning. clothes, stood at the entrance of the town with head held high, waiting for the arrival of Ma Wei and the others.

"My lord! My lord!"

Seeing Ma Wei and the others getting off the train, the mayor immediately surrounded him with Father Fran and other town residents, and asked expectantly: "My lord, the bog grass is already ripe, when shall we start harvesting? "

In the farmland outside the town, the green bogue grass swayed with the breeze. It looks like a weed, but it is not. The biggest difference between bogue grass and weeds is the rhizome. The rhizome of bogue grass has a black meat ball , the serum inside has a certain detoxification effect, and the effect is better when paired with bezoar.

Borggrass is not a rare extraordinary herb. If no one takes care of it, a stalk of Borggrass can reproduce hundreds of thousands of its own species within half a year. If one is planted at the beginning of the year, a whole mountain can be harvested at the end of the year.

Although Borggrass is very cheap, the church has a great demand for it. In addition to making antidotes, the fibers extracted from Borggrass can be used to make ropes for catching extraordinary creatures. As long as it is soaked in tung oil, it will become Some ropes made of high-quality bogue grass are even stronger than iron chains.

"Brandon Archbishop, you will pick the first Borggrass."

Ma Wei invited: "This may not be the first time in human history to plant Borggrass, but it is the result of our large-scale planting in this era. It is of extraordinary significance. Such an honor should be opened by a prestigious person."

"it is good."

Archbishop Brandon is not a hypocritical person. He came to the small town of Baconsfield today just to come to the town, because Mavi will announce the purchase price of Borggrass on the spot, which may cause a lot of trouble. the noise.

With him there, at least the stability of the scene can be guaranteed.

As Archbishop Brandon uprooted a bogue plant, excited residents rushed into the field wearing cloth gloves. The leaf edge of the bogue grass has a row of jagged protrusions, which can scratch if you are not careful. Fingers, at the same time, oxalic acid contains paralytic toxins, which will make people bleed profusely, not fatal, but no one wants to be injured.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, baskets of harvested Bogue grass were sent to the edge of the field, and the staff of Manstein Potion Company carried out public weighing. Every time the weighing was finished, the empty baskets had to be weighed again, and the weight was subtracted. , strive for precision.

The sun was in the west, and the bogue grass was not harvested until the evening. This was the result of the concerted efforts of the residents. If it were the busy farming season, the crops would have to be harvested for at least two or three days.

"Mr. Nicholas, after weighing, a total of about 35 pounds of bogue grass has been harvested. Here are the details!"

The staff of the Manstein Potion Company handed over the completed form to Ma Wei. There are hundreds of acres of farmland around Baconsfield, and the bogue grass is very productive. Calculated at 1000 pounds per mu, there are at least dozens of Ten thousand pounds.

After reading the statistical table, it was time to announce the purchase price. The businessmen and nobles who were watching couldn't help but move closer, for fear of missing something.

"The town of Baconsfield harvested a total of 35 pounds of bogue grass. According to the market price, the price of every pound of bogue grass is 1 penny"

On the field ridge, Ma Wei shouted to the surroundings: "According to the "Potion Subsidy Act" issued by the Kingdom, the purchase price offered by the Manstein Potion Company is 2 pence per pound!"

wow——

The surroundings suddenly became lively, and both merchants and nobles showed shocked expressions.

To say I wasn't shocked would be a lie.

Even if there is a bill subsidy, I have never seen anyone directly double the purchase price!

35 pounds of bogue grass, 2 pence per pound, a total price of 70 pence, about 11 shillings, converted into gold pounds
There are 5800 gold pounds!

What is this concept?
A small town with a population of only a few thousand earned 5800 gold pounds in just one week!

Everyone can get 1 gold pound or even more!

You know, a weekly salary of 1 gold pound in London is a proper white-collar level!

Enough to feed a large family!
Such a terrible profit rate instantly made many people jealous, and some even shouted: "It's not fair! Who doesn't know that the small town of Beckensfield is your brother's territory? You deliberately charged them high prices!"

In the face of doubts, Ma Wei said lightly: "There is no such thing as Manstein Potion Company deliberately charging high prices. The town of Baconsfield is indeed my brother Felix's territory, but I will not favor them because of this." , this price is indeed carefully calculated and well thought out.”

"Furthermore, even if I want to favor them, I shouldn't blatantly favor them in front of so many people. Isn't it better to favor in private?"

The onlookers looked at each other in blank dismay: "So, the price that Manstein Potions purchased Borggrass was indeed 2 pence a pound?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ma Wei said: "However, I want to remind you that the town of Baconsfield can grow mature bog grass within a week because they used the growth potion, and the cost of the growth potion is included, and it is only less than 1 penny/pound earns a little more, and too frequent planting of potions in a field in a short period of time will also reduce the production of potions, so you should think about how to do it yourself."

Most people only heard Mavi say that the purchase price of Borggrass is 2 pence per pound, and completely ignored the second half of the advice.

With the terrible yield of bogue grass, 2 pence per pound is no different from stealing money!
Here's the bonus!
This is the outlet!
Not only the surrounding merchants and nobles, but even the mayor and residents were stunned when they heard the price given by Ma Wei. After the shock, they burst into tears of excitement and almost prostrated themselves on the ground to greet the lord like in the Middle Ages.

For many people, this is indeed an opportunity to change their destiny, but this opportunity will not last long. At the beginning, the market was not stable, and there were many opportunities. People don't matter anymore.

The outlet can only make you a wave of quick money. Whether you can take advantage of the opportunity to take off depends on your individual ability.

But for the residents of the small town of Baconsfield, 2 pence per pound of bog grass is enough to improve their lives, which means that they no longer have to be tailors to subsidize their families, and can only rely on growing potions. feed yourself
Many businessmen and nobles left the small town of Baconsfield by train. They are going back to prepare. The next step of the Manstein Potion Company is clear, and the next step is when the competition begins. Whoever enters first will earn money. Much more, one minute late may lose thousands or even tens of thousands of gold pounds.
"Look how excited they are."

Looking at the merchants and nobles who couldn't wait to rush onto the train, Levin smiled disdainfully: "Brother, your reputation will spread completely, as long as you bind with the merchants and elites in South London, they will Why didn't I vote for you?"

Ma Wei smiled and said: "This is something the Conservative Party will never be able to do. We won the emerging market of potions, and with control, we controlled a part of London's economy. Compared with the so-called old aristocrats, We are the biggest emerging capital, New Money.”

Different identities have different ways of doing things. If Ma Wei came directly to London to spread the truth, there is a high probability that the people will be regarded as lunatics. As an old capitalist power, if you want to win the Kingdom of Windsor, you must not use ordinary means. You can only become capital. In order to enter the high society in London, you can have the opportunity to do things that are almost impossible.

"Mr. Nicholas! Your lord!"

While Mavi and Levin were talking, the mayor quietly approached and said in a low voice, "Apart from Borggrass, can we grow other extraordinary herbs?"

"Why, do you still want to make more money?" Levin frowned.

The mayor lowered his head in embarrassment, rubbed his hands and said, "Look at what you said, Lord Lord, of course we want to make money. You led us to become rich. We will definitely not forget you!"

"Borggrass is a harmless and extraordinary herb. It is the least difficult to grow. It is rarely affected by external factors such as weather. The benefits are also very good. It is currently the most suitable crop for the town."

Ma Wei said with a blank expression: "It's not that there are more expensive seeds, and it's not that there are no more expensive extraordinary herbs. It's just that you can't control these yet, and the benefits are often accompanied by risks. Being able to grow Borg grass doesn't mean You can grow other extraordinary herbs, and planting Borggrass can already bring wealth to the town without worrying about food and clothing. Before finding a reasonable way to grow herbs, I suggest that you only plant Borggrass."

"Hey, hey yes, we all listen to you."

The mayor did not dare to disobey Ma Wei, and nodded repeatedly. No one knew whether he had listened to it, but the so-called good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, Ma Wei has already said what he should say, and he has done what he should do. The future of the small town of Baconsfield has nothing to do with the mayor.

At night, after the payment was settled, the Mavics and Archbishop Brandon had dinner in the town, and a grand banquet was held in the town to celebrate the harvest. It was not until 9 o'clock that Mavic returned by the last train. London.

After leaving King's Cross Station, Mavi did not say goodbye to Archbishop Brandon immediately, but went to St. Paul's Cathedral with Archbishop Brandon to settle the issue of guarding and selecting extraordinary items.

Ma Wei's significance to the church is extraordinary, and Archbishop Brandon has mentioned more than once that he wants to strengthen Ma Wei's protection, but was rejected by Ma Wei at first. Now that Mr. Steward may assassinate him at any time, he must no longer be indifferent.

The headquarters of the witcher is not far from St. Paul's Cathedral. The Mavics followed Archbishop Brandon to the headquarters of the witcher, arranged for three of the most elite demon hunter teams to protect themselves, and then went to St. Paul's Cathedral Church, and Pope Ubli I explained the situation.

The treasury of the main church is the most important place, just like the place where the Church of Truth used to keep the crystal skulls. These extraordinary items have powerful power, and if there is a slight mistake, it may lead to irreversible consequences.

As the archbishop, Brandon can enter and exit the treasure house at will, but if he wants to bring other people in, he must obtain the consent of Pope Ubli I. Seeing that Mawei and others want to enter the treasury, Pope Ubli I did not stop him. The pass token was handed over to Archbishop Brandon.

The treasure house is located on the first floor of St. Paul's Cathedral, connected to the basement floor. It is a giant safe made of fine steel. It is said that the most elite architects and locksmiths in the city were hired during construction, and countless organs were set up. With a mechanical lock structure, if you want to open it, you can only use a specific method.

"Since the arrival of the goddesses, the church has once again transformed and upgraded the treasure house, repaired and maintained the original magic circle, and added several kinds of magic on the original basis."

Ma Wei and the others came to a black iron gate, and Archbishop Brandon inserted the token of Pope Umbly I into the keyhole. While turning it, the mechanism rattled, the gears meshed one after another, thick and thick layer by layer. The iron bolts were separated, and the ground was shaking. At the same time, the defensive magic circles were quickly dispelled.

"The last time the treasury was stolen, it was because the demons of the Supreme Four Pillars destroyed the magic circle. They possessed the contracted holy sword of the ancient god Belial. It is easy to destroy these magic circles, but now it is alright. We have strengthened the defense again, more than 100 Layers of magic circles are activated at the same time, even if the ancient god Belial comes in person, it can resist for two seconds."

"Two or two seconds?"

Levin froze for a moment, he thought that Archbishop Brandon was going to brag, but in the end
Just two seconds?
"Two seconds is not bad." Archbishop Brandon said calmly: "I don't need to explain to you what the ancient god Belial is. The three goddesses shot at the same time, I am afraid they are not his opponents."

"I don't need to brag with you, just say what you have. In short, if you ever knock down the ancient god Belial in the future, remember, run if you can, and pray if you can't, and pray that He will forgive you. Let you die quickly."

"Is it so scary?" Levin recalled the scene where the ancient god Belial projected his mind to London: "I feel that he is not as vicious as I imagined."

"He is still sealed, how can he be so vicious?" Archbishop Brandon said angrily, "Although I have never seen the ancient god Belial, the teachings of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny clearly stated that the ancient god Belial is A big demon with nine heads and 72 arms, with eyes all over his body, each eye represents a kind of ability, it is impossible to kill him, even the ancient god Ashis, it is only sealed Him!"

"Let's not talk about that, there are still many demons who have not descended on the Devil's Gate, which means that the ancient god Belial will not be able to break free from the seal in a short period of time, let's think about the things in front of us first."

With that said, Archbishop Brandon pushed open the iron door in front of him:

"This is one of the core areas of the Church of Goddess of Destiny, keep quiet, don't disturb the sleeping existence"
