Father Mavie

Chapter 410 The Water Demon Seran (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
Mavi remembered the plague of rats he had encountered in New Rose.

The plague that broke out in New Ross City was very similar to this large-scale dysentery incident. It broke out suddenly in a short period of time, which caught everyone off guard.

By the time you notice the difference, it's already too late.

After checking the conditions of Levin and Daniel to ensure that their lives were not in danger for the time being, Mavi took Junia and Edward who had just woken up and walked out of St. Basil's Cathedral.

The streets where people used to come and go seemed a bit empty, and few pedestrians could be seen. Occasionally, a doctor with a medical kit and a hat ran in the morning breeze, knocking on doors from door to door, checking the condition of patients.

The monks of the Church of Truth were also recruited, and many of them were lying in bed unable to move, extremely weak.

"Where's Fat Orange? Did something happen to it?"

"Prince Fat Orange is fine. He was the first one to find out that the situation in the city was not right. I came here to inform you that I took the cat with me to start the investigation first." Christopher said.

"Um"

Just when Ma Wei was deep in thought, thinking about where to start the investigation, the door of the Kremlin opened. Katerina came out with Bodlinov and a group of guards. Seeing that Ma Wei was safe and sound, she was obviously relieved. Take a breath.

"Father!" Katerina hurried over.

"Your Majesty, you are fine."

"What the hell is going on here? Why is there a sudden cholera outbreak in the city?"

Ma Wei couldn't answer Katerina's doubts for a while, and he was also wondering.

"Your Majesty, we should gather all the people who can still move, investigate the sick residents, and ask them what they have been exposed to and what they have eaten in the past two days."

"What if the disease is contagious?" Katerina asked: "So many people have been sick, if the remaining people are infected again, Mosk will be in a state of stagnation!"

"It should not be contagious. Levin and Daniel were recruited. Dino and I had close contact with them yesterday, and they are all fine today. Either the disease has an incubation period, or it is not contagious. I think the latter is more likely." high."

Ma Wei doesn't think it's a cholera, there is no large-scale infectious disease that can suddenly break out in a short period of time, and make half of the city's residents fall in one day
Virus infection also takes time, which is basic common sense in life.

"Bodlinov, you lead people to investigate from door to door, and you must find out the source of this epidemic!" Katerina made a decision.

"Yes!"

Bodlinov waved his arm, immediately mobilized his staff, and launched a large-scale investigation campaign.

After the guards left, Ma Wei looked at Junia beside him: "Younia, you bless the holy water and see if the holy water can cure this disease."

"understood!"

Everyone returned to the church, prepared a bowl of holy water blessed by the goddess, and went upstairs.

Christopher helped up Levin who was lying on the bed weakly, and poured the holy water down his throat little by little. Mawei and the others waited nervously, hoping that the holy water could cure this disease like last time.

but.
After drinking the holy water, Levin's condition did not improve, his face was still sallow, and his spirit was listless.

"Father, it's not a curse that caused this plague." Seeing that the holy water had no effect, Junia turned to look at Ma Wei: "I'm in Uncle Levin's body, and I don't feel the existence of other curses."

"do not"

Suddenly, Levin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up as if returning to the light, which shocked everyone.

Seeing him staring and wriggling his mouth with difficulty, Christopher hurried forward and listened to his voice like a mosquito.

Katerina asked, "What did he say?"

"He said." Christopher looked at Junia with a strange face: "Don't call him uncle."

"At what time does he still care about this!"

Ma Wei almost fainted out of breath. He knew that Levin had an inexplicable obsession with the title 'uncle', and he never liked Junia calling him like that, but he never thought of it
Levin, who had collapsed and was on the verge of coma, still had the strength to refute
"Feed him to drink more water, let him have a good rest quickly!"

Leaving Christopher to take care of Levin and Daniel, Ma Wei and others came to the living room on the first floor and began to search for the source of the epidemic based on the information sent by Bodlinov.

The area around Red Square was the area where dysentery broke out most severely. In many cases, a family of three fell down at the same time, and the sick could not get up.

The food they ate was normal, the same as usual, a few pieces of bread, a few pieces of butter, corn chowder.
Even the ingredients used for cooking are bought from different markets. They come from several towns around Moscow. Many sick families don’t even cook. They eat canned food and the like, canned food How could it be the source of infection?
If canned food is the source of the disease, how did other people who did not eat the canned food get the disease?

The only thing that is the same in different areas of activity and different foods eaten is the area where the disease broke out on a large scale, almost all of which are concentrated near the riverside.

Ma Wei inserted nails representing the residences of infected people on Mosk's map and discovered this special phenomenon.

"Father, this."

Katerina looked at the densely packed nails on the map, and said in surprise: "The area with the worst outbreak of the epidemic seems to be near the Mosk River! Could it be that there is a problem with the water source?!"

People living in Moscow consider the Mosk River, which spans the entire city, to be their mother river. The city is built next to the water, and all the water used in daily life comes from this wide river.

If there is a problem with the water source
That would explain the massive outbreak of the disease.

Ma Wei couldn't help thinking about the food he ate yesterday. When he got up in the morning, he ate two slices of buttered bread, a stack of scrambled eggs, and drank a cup of hot tea. He ate lamb borscht with bread at noon. He had no appetite and didn't eat at night .
I obviously drank water yesterday!

The water source of St. Basil's Cathedral also comes from the Mosk River!
Almost all the monks working in the church collapsed, but he, Junia and Edward were all safe and sound. What is the problem?

Full of doubts, Ma Wei found the chef Mocelli hired by the church, and after careful inquiry, he found that
The water used for cooking yesterday morning and at noon did come from the tap water pipes, but the crux of the problem is the mutton borscht for lunch. This dish needs to be cooked for a long time, so the chef started to prepare the ingredients and stew it early in the morning Yes, the food Marvie had at noon.
The water comes from the morning!

Ma Wei didn't eat the food prepared by the church in the evening, and all the monks who had dinner were infected with the disease!
The more you eat, the worse your symptoms will be!
"It seems that there is really a problem with the water source"

Ma Wei looked at Katerina: "Your Highness, didn't you eat anything last night?"

"I ate barbecue with vodka last night." Katerina pursed her lips and said, "Last night, Bodlinov and the guards held a bonfire party and invited me to eat some... Could it be Someone poisoned the river?"

"The Mosk River is fast-moving. If you want to achieve large-scale disease infection, you must continuously inject poison. The fish in the river should have died long ago. What's more, why do the poisoners put laxatives into the river? Even if they poison, they should Throw deadly poison!"

"You mean, this is not a deliberate poisoning incident?"

"... Just go to the Mosk River for a field survey."

After confirming that there was a problem with the water source, everyone set off immediately and came to the banks of the Mosk River. The river bank area was full of gravel and full of cats and cats.

"Ah! It's Fat Orange!"

Junia immediately saw Fat Orange squatting by the river, staring at the flowing river, with a dignified expression and vigilant eyes.

Obviously, Fat Orange was one step faster than them and discovered the problem of the water source.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Fat Ju looked back, and said calmly, "I'm just going to inform you that there may be a problem with the river water. The cats and cats who drank the river water yesterday all developed severe symptoms of dysentery."

"Where's Little Black?"

"It got tricked, and it screamed like a butchered pig. It kept yelling big brother save me meow, big brother save me meow. I was upset when I heard that, so I knocked it unconscious."

"."

It's your most loyal little brother
Thanks to you for removing the claws.

Shaking his head, Ma Wei thought of Xiao Hei pitifully for half a second, and then turned his eyes to the river.

Under the calm river surface, dirty mud is mixed. Although it is called the mother river, people living in Moscow still dump feces and dirty water into this river. Things, once winter comes, after the flow rate of the river drops.
The entire river will emit a thick stench, permeating the sky above the city, lingering.

Just as Mavi was quietly observing, Junia suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Dad, something swam across the river."

thing?

Ma Wei looked intently, but did not find anything unusual under the calm river, but found a few fish.

Junia will not talk nonsense, she must have seen something invisible to the naked eye to say this, Ma Wei observed the river, quietly took out the Siren's Tears, and held Junia's little hand.

The majestic divine power poured into the divine body, the muscles and bones cracked, the field of vision suddenly became clear, the flow of the river seemed to slow down, the mud could no longer block the sight, and everything became nuanced.
This is the first time that Mavi borrowed Junia's power after she ascended to the gods. The endless power filled the body, and the warm feeling flowed between the limbs, with a kind of intoxicating magic.

Behind him, Edward looked at Mavi who had borrowed Junia's divine power, his pupils shrank imperceptibly, and soon returned to normal.

The invisible bone wings stretched behind his back, and Mavi stretched his neck and looked at the river again.

In the surging water flow, there are vaguely colloidal objects swimming, the speed is extremely fast, they rushed past in the blink of an eye, and merged with the river water, which is extremely difficult to find.

fish?
Transparent fish?

No it's not fish.
Looking at the transparent colloidal objects swimming along the river water one by one, like a migrating army, Ma Wei clenched the Siren's Tears tightly and exerted a little force on the soles of his feet.

The tears of the Siren burst out with dazzling light, and the wide river suddenly split in the middle, and the river broke in two, exposing the muddy river bottom. With a crash, several monsters with dark blue bodies crashed through the water wall and fell into the mud. Among them, the upper body is the same as that of a human being, while the lower body is the tail fin of a fish.

"This is." Katerina recalled the "Catalogue of Alien Beasts" she had read, her eyes narrowed, and she had some impression of the blue monster in front of her: "Seran, the water demon!"

"It is indeed Seran, the water demon."

Ma Wei, who had also read the classics of the Apocalypse God, also saw through the identity of the monster.

Sairan, a water demon, is an extraordinary creature that lives in fresh water. Its whole body is dark blue. When swimming in the water, its body will be integrated with the water flow. It is difficult to detect. It has a group nature and rarely moves alone. All of them are female. On weekdays, they eat fish for a living and do not take the initiative to attack humans. Only when it is mating time will they swim towards the sea to find another ethnic group in the ocean, the Siren.

Sirens, also known as mermaids, are all males according to the records in the Illustrated Beasts, with beautiful singing voices and maiden-like appearances. They like to eat flesh and blood and are extremely cruel. They live in the sea. Often attack passing ships at night, rely on appearance and singing to charm sailors, and drag them into the depths of the ocean to share their food
Before reading the classics left by the Apocalypse Sect, Ma Wei, who had years of sailing experience, always thought that the mermaid was a female, in fact.
They are all public.

The mermaid princess in the fairy tale is actually a Seren who swims into the sea to find a partner during the mating period. Occasionally, they cannot find the Siren, but the mating period is only one month. In order to continue the group, they cannot find the Seren. The female water demon of the Ren tribe will turn into a human and go ashore to find a mate.

Reproductive isolation is not a problem at all for the half-human, half-fish Seren. Although they live in fresh water, they are very close to humans. The female water demon is not very aggressive, which is completely different from the bloody and brutal Siren. .

The danger in the ocean has created the cruelty of the Seren people, and the gentleness of the fresh water has also created the gentleness of the Seren people.

If you see two beautiful mermaids intertwined in the shallows of the sea while sailing, don’t panic, it’s the Siren and the Seran mating, and the Siren will not actively attack humans until the mating is over Yes, but if the mating is over, the Siren will reveal its bloody side.

Curiosity kills people, not an empty phrase.

The correct choice is to turn around and run, unless you have absolute strength and are confident that you can defeat the rampant sirens in the ocean.

As for the root cause of water pollution and disease, after the existence of the water demon Seran was exposed, the truth became clear.

Although the water demon Seran has a gentle temperament and will not take the initiative to attack humans, a kind of algae called blue moon algae will grow where they swim. This algae will emit blue fluorescence under the moonlight. Hence the name.

At the same time, the blue moon algae emits toxins, which are fatal to fish. The effect is similar to the catnip in the eyes of cats, attracting fish to gather, thus providing a large amount of food for the Seran people.

This toxin cannot be killed by high temperature or low temperature. If humans drink the water source where blue moon algae grows, they will not die, but
I will have diarrhea all the time.

Pull until the toxins are completely digested and metabolized by the body.

In ancient times, if people suffered from constipation, they would go out at night to find the water source for the growth of blue moon algae, pick a plant home, grind it into slurry, and give it to the constipated person. It is a very ancient laxative. With the disappearance of the Seran tribe and the extinction of the blue moon algae, this method was lost.

Now that the disaster is coming, the Seran tribe reappeared in the world, just passing through the Mosk River, which caught Mavi by surprise.

What makes Ma Wei a little strange is that the Seran people generally have their own fixed habitats, such as wide inland freshwater lakes, where they settle and rarely swim around. Their mating period is late October and autumn, and they are currently For a full month, why did they appear in groups in Mosk?

Just when Mavi was puzzled, blue bodies floated out of the water, and fine scales appeared on their pretty faces due to anger. Migrating and angry, but afraid of Junia standing next to Mavi, their keen sense of danger made them aware of the strength of their opponents.

The Seran water monsters bared their teeth at Ma Wei, but they didn't dare to attack. They wanted to scare the enemy away with a threatening growl in their throats.

"Father."

Katerina leaned behind Ma Wei and said in a low voice: "It is recorded in the ancient books that the tears of the Seran people are extremely precious secret medicines that can be encountered but not sought. Now that disasters are recovering on a large scale, the appearance of the Seran people It’s a sign, if the legendary plant reappears, the ancient medicine will come in handy.”

"Your Majesty, no matter how precious a treasure is, we have to consider whether it is advisable. The behavior of robbers is not the truth."

"Aren't you indifferent?"

"Be tempted, but one of the most important aspects of civilization created by human beings is morality. A country with corrupt morals will not last long." Ma Wei said quietly: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way."

"But Dad, you were the second-in-command of the privateer fleet!" Junia said with a blink of her eyes.

The corner of Ma Wei's mouth twitched slightly: "Oh, I have changed my mind. The Pereia naval battle is our punishment."

"Then what about them?" Katerina looked at the surface of the water, and more and more Seran water monsters asked: "It caused us such a big trouble, should we let them go like this?"

"Um"

After thinking about it, Ma Weilu said to the Seran water demon in front of him: "If you can understand my speech, please come out and see your patriarch."

After a short period of silence, the river suddenly churned, and the Seran water monsters retreated one after another. A huge figure
floated out of the water.
