Chapter 360 The doomsday party is ready to move(1/2)
In the palace, the second prince was eating lunch, listening to the clanging sound of hammers falling in his ears, feeling very irritable.
He is now the king, and he lives a leisurely life every day. There are not so many things to deal with. The cabinet formed by Ma Wei has solved more than 90% of his problems for him. He can end his day's work by just signing.
The reason why Rhodes IV worked so hard was because he participated in the national decision-making process and often discussed with the cabinet to make decisions. However, in the view of the second prince, this was completely unnecessary.
Why are you living so tiringly?
He is already a king and it's time to enjoy himself.
It's just that living in this palace is not very comfortable.
Buckingham Palace is an ancient building that still uses the architectural style of a hundred years ago. It often leaks and some rooms are dark and damp all year round. It is time for major repairs.
Originally, the money to repair the palace needed to be financed, and every year the finance allocated a part of the money to the royal family. However, this money was obviously not enough to repair the huge Buckingham Palace. It was good enough to maintain daily expenses. Whether it was the private consumption of the king or the prince, it was basically funded by
Private industry is responsible.
The king had a lot of land and would receive a large amount of tax every year. However, the second prince had just ascended the throne and the tax would not be collected until next year. Rhodes IV did not wait until decades later to collect the tax.
Fortunately, the second prince has a lot of money and has saved a lot of money over the years, so he funded the overhaul of the palace. I heard that Oxford University is currently researching a large generator. Once the research is successful, electric lights will be installed in the palace!
But before that, the second prince still had to consider where to live next.
The palace that was undergoing major renovations was obviously not suitable for people to live in, so they had to find a temporary residence. After much deliberation, the second prince decided to go back to Kensington Palace, which he was familiar with, and stay there for a while.
Back at Kensington Palace, the second prince lay down in the cigar chair, picked up a blue cigar, cut off the end of the cigar, lit it, took a nice puff, and picked up a piece of sleepy toast and put it into his mouth.
"call...."
"Your Majesty has really good taste. The blue pattern cigars imported from the Western Continent are said to be rubbed from the thighs of young girls."
"Of course...huh?!"
Hearing the voice beside him, the second prince's body trembled. He turned around and found that a fat man with a smile had appeared in the room at some point, followed by a young man with cold eyes.
"Who are you?! Guards! Guards!"
The fat man looked at the second prince with a smile and did not stop him from shouting. After a while, no guards came, and then the second prince realized that his voice might not be heard at all.
"Your Majesty, we have no ill intentions."
Sitting next to the second prince, the slightly fat man picked up a blue-striped cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed, "I'm just visiting because I have important matters to discuss."
"Something important? What's important?"
Seeing that the other party did not seem to be hostile, the second prince calmed down.
"Sleep toast can make people have unrealistic dreams, and dreams are based on their own fantasies."
The fat man said: "Your Majesty, you are already a king, and you still like to eat sleepy toast, which means you are still not satisfied, right?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"We can help your Majesty realize your dream, your real dream."
"joke!"
The second prince said disdainfully: "You don't even know what my dream is, and you still brazenly say that you want to help me realize it?"
The slightly fat man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what dreams can a person who has reached your level have? It is nothing more than complete concentration of power..."
Ordinary people have many dreams, which vary from person to person.
Some may be for money and wealth, and some may be for women, but these are not what the second prince needs.
He is not lacking at all.
Wealth, even if it is not as good as the richest man in London like Ma Wei, is enough for a lifetime; woman, as a king, what kind of woman do you want?
The only thing that can really make the second prince tempted is the overwhelming power.
This is the view of a fat man.
"It turns out you came to me for cooperation."
The second prince looked at the fat man and then at the young man behind the fat man. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "How can you help me?"
"Has Your Majesty ever heard of the Doomsday Party?"
"The Doomsday Party...really exist?"
"Of course it exists!" the fat man said loudly: "As the guiding light of mankind, the Doomsday Party has an arduous task. We never appear in peacetime and allow dynasties to rise and fall. This is the natural development of human history. The Doomsday Party will never
put one's oar in."
"Only when there is an external threat, will the Doomsday Party regroup and help mankind tide over the difficulties! This is our mission!"
The second prince had heard of the Doomsday Party, but he only knew that they were a group of lunatics. He did not expect that they really existed...
Judging from their behavior of sneaking into Kensington Palace quietly, there is a high probability that they can use magic.
"Your Majesty, do you think that the power that originally belonged to you has been divided by the church?" The fat man said seductively: "Only by getting rid of the church can the power return to your hands."
"Get rid of the church?" The second prince frowned: "If you get rid of the church, who will deal with the devil? Are you a doomsday party?"
"That's right! It's us! The Doomsday Party has already found a way to deal with the devil! In the near future, we will make powerful weapons to destroy the church and the devil in one fell swoop! Establish a new order! At that time, it will belong to mankind
Golden Age!”
The second prince stared at the fat man, as if looking at a fool.
"Having said all that, you haven't made a powerful weapon that can deal with the devil and the church, have you?"
"The first generation of experimental products has been completed, and the second generation is about to be developed. Each generation is stronger than the last."
The second prince pursed his lips, really not knowing what to say.
Isn’t this a big deal?
Even if you have some abilities, you can't say you can definitely defeat the church and the devil!
"Your Majesty, you seem to have doubts about our strength."
"The key point is that you didn't show me any evidence." The second prince said, "You are just saying nothing, so why should I believe you?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your doubts are justified. This also proves that our cooperation has entered the negotiation stage, which is a good start."
The slightly fat man put down his cigar, stood up and said, "Since your Majesty has doubts about our strength, we will prove to you the strength of the Doomsday Party at midnight three days later."
"At midnight three days from now?"
At No. 9 Downing Street, Ma Wei looked at the sudden arrival of the second prince, and heard the other party saying that the Doomsday Party had come to the door and wanted to prove himself in three days...
Some couldn't laugh or cry.
He did not expect that the second prince actually resisted the temptation and told him the matter immediately. Even Archbishop Brandon did not know.
You know, the previous king, Rhodes IV, accepted the conditions offered by the Doomsday Party.
"I don't believe them at all."
The second prince said: "Who are the Doomsday Party? They are just a bunch of lunatics! I am indeed greedy for power, but that does not mean that I am crazy about overthrowing the church! What if the Doomsday Party is not the opponent of the church and the devil? Why should I let it go?
Stable churches don’t want to run to support them!”
"Your Majesty is right."
Ma Wei nodded slowly and said in approval: "The Doomsday Party is a group of lunatics. Believing in them will push the kingdom into a pit of fire."
The fat man who appeared in Kensington Palace is most likely Mr. Butler. As for the young man behind him, Ma Wei has never seen him. I am afraid he is reinforcements sent by the Doomsday Party headquarters. Calculating the time, it is almost time to arrive.
It’s not surprising that Mr. Butler visited the second prince. The Doomsday Party wants to avoid the church in London and must either seek help from Manstein’s Potion Company or seek asylum from the king. Manstein’s Potion Company obviously will not
If you help the doomsday party, you can only win over the king.
What Mr. Butler didn't expect was that the second prince's ideas were completely different from Rhodes IV's.
Rhodes IV considered the problem from his own point of view and had no business habits. What about the second prince?
He is a businessman through and through!
The way of thinking is also a businessman!
It is true that businessmen dare to take risks while pursuing profits, but this does not mean that businessmen are willing to take risks.
On the contrary, businessmen are one of the groups that pursue stability the most.
In the eyes of the second prince, he, who has become a king, went against the church for some so-called power, gave up all his base, and supported an organization that he subconsciously thought was a lunatic...
is it possible?
The throne is not warm yet!
Ma Wei's surprise mostly came from the fact that the second prince told him this matter without hesitation.
According to normal thinking, the second prince should say nothing to anyone and wait and see what the doomsday party will do in three days before making plans.
But the second prince did not do this.
This is a great amount of trust.
"Nicholas, do you want to report this matter to the church?" The second prince asked: "Report it to the church and let the church deal with the doomsday party!"
"No, Your Majesty, don't act rashly yet." Ma Wei said: "We still don't know what the Doomsday Party is going to do, so it's better to wait and see."
