Father Mavie

Chapter 644 Pursuit, Whales (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
Under the night, the fleet spread out in a circular shape, encircling the main ship Dicky in the middle, and then a small frigate sailed out, pouring barrels of kerosene into the sea, and the viscous liquid floated up, undulating slightly with the waves .

A fire at sea is often more terrifying than a fire on land. Some sailors are worried that the fire cannot be controlled. Fortunately, there is not much kerosene dumped, and it will not cause too much disaster.

After the preparations were completed, Archbishop Brandon nodded, and a demon hunter walked to the bow of the ship, spit out a fire dragon, and ignited the kerosene.

Flames billowed into the sky, black smoke billowed, the sea surface was burnt red by the flames, and the high temperature rushed in. The second prince who was standing by the boat was blown by the heat wave, and quickly took two steps back, breathing hard.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness." Archbishop Brandon comforted: "Mermaids are afraid of light. After they discover a fire at sea, they usually stay away from the fire, but now is their breeding season, and they will not leave the sea easily. Prevent your partner from seeing the flames and dare not approach them, and will take the initiative to extinguish the flames."

"Now the sea is on fire, when will they appear?"

"It's hard to say." Archbishop Brandon said uncertainly: "First of all, there must be mermaids in this area. If the mermaids are not active in this sea area, they will naturally not be able to find the fire on the sea surface, but some fishermen have seen mermaids nearby. , so as long as they find out, they will surface.”

"Our entire fleet is here, do they dare to come?"

Archbishop Brandon smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, mermaids are social creatures, and their number is much larger than ours. They either don't show up, or they will gather in groups to invite the saint out."

"Yes!"

Several priests accompanying the ship entered the cabin, and came back with a masked girl in a short while. The saint sent by the church was named Melissa, who was a follower of the goddess of sin, Tilde. She was 17 years old and came from Birmingham.

Mavi is not sure how many saints there are in the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. Archbishop Brandon said that there are two to three hundred, and most of them are arranged to sit in churches in various cities, but there are many saintess candidates. If there are casualties among women, they can be replenished immediately.

As long as the daughter of the family is selected as a saint, she will be rewarded and subsidized by the church, and she can live a life without worrying about food and clothing even if she does nothing. Jin, basically he will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.

Thanks to this, many parents who have daughters at home will scramble to send their daughters to the church for testing. As long as their soul strength meets the standard, their bodies are holy, and they believe in any goddess, they can become candidates and go to the Holy See in London for training. Not a bad thing, at least not before becoming a saint.

Before becoming a saint, the church has to ask candidates in the name of the goddess. Only candidates who are sincerely willing to dedicate themselves to the gods can become saints. Girls who do not have firm beliefs or do not want to become saints will also be sent home .

After becoming a saint, the missions of the girls are different. The church can meet most of their requirements, but they must obey the orders and constraints of the church and stand up when the church needs them, otherwise.
It would end up like Deirdre.

The biggest advantage of believing in God is here. Basically, there will be no forced behavior against the wishes of believers, and everything is to ensure the foundation of believers.

To be honest, the lives of saintesses are really good. Their quality of life has reached the standard of nobility. Ceramic bathtubs, expensive mattresses, scented toys, and gorgeous clothes are all available, except for one thing - they need to apply to the church to go out. , freedom is restricted, only half a day off every week, and the rest of the time must stay in the church.

No believer dares to act obscenely towards the saint, which is disrespectful to the goddess.

Melissa boarded the deck, her figure was covered by a black robe, she stood at the bow of the ship, quietly overlooking the sea below which was dyed red by the fire, she remained silent all the time.

Time passed by, the mermaid did not appear at all, and the fire became smaller and smaller. The kerosene burned very fast, and without the support of combustibles, the flame quickly disappeared into the vast sea, and the sea breeze blew completely dissipated .

"Let's do it again! We have prepared a lot of kerosene! We must be able to lure the mermaid out!" Archbishop Brandon refused to give up and ordered the frigate to continue pouring kerosene into the sea.

"Just lighting the fire is not enough."

Melissa said suddenly: "Mermaids are extraordinary creatures with wisdom. They must have sensed the threat, so they didn't dare to appear."

"Um"

Archbishop Brandon also thought of this possibility, and sighed: "Mermaids can swim into the deep sea. If they refuse to come out, we have nothing to do."

"There is still a way."

"Saint you mean"

Melissa looked at Ma Wei and said in a clear voice, "I heard that Mr. Nicholas bought mermaid tears, right?"

".Yes."

"The tears of mermaids are invaluable, and we can use them to lure mermaids." Melissa said: "Mermaids are extremely racial creatures. As long as they drop their tears into the sea, they can attract the same kind. We use tears as bait."

"What a joke!"

Before Ma Wei could speak, the second prince couldn't help but rushed up: "The mermaid's tears are ready-made! How can we use ready-made things to invest in uncertain things? A waste of a tear may not necessarily attract the mermaid. If you attract, you may not be able to catch it, and if you catch it, you may not be able to find tears. Instead, it is better to save the tears and save them for future use!"

The second prince's words are not unreasonable. Archbishop Brandon hesitated a little. He knew the feasibility of Melissa's suggestion, but the problem was that they also captured mermaids for tears, and they used tears for tears. In the end, the bamboo basket may be empty.

"I believe that Nicholas can get more mermaid tears, just a drop, the church can fully bear the consequences of trial and error, right?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ma Wei one after another, wanting to hear what he meant.

Under everyone's gaze, Ma Wei shrugged: "It's just a tear, and the cost is only 1000 gold pounds. If you can catch a live mermaid, it must be a bargain."

Even after Ma Wei said this, the second prince stopped insisting. Soon, Ma Wei took out a drop of mermaid tears in a glass bottle, uncorked the bottle, and poured it into the ocean.

"ignition!"

call!
The raging fire ignited again on the surface of the sea, and everyone looked at the water expectantly, hoping to attract the mermaid, but after more than ten minutes, the sea was still calm and there was no reaction.

"Oh, I said it shouldn't be wasted."

The second prince sighed, feeling a little heartbroken. He didn't care about 1000 gold pounds, but he cared about the mermaid tears bought with 1000 gold pounds. Gold pounds are often available, but mermaid tears are rare.

The flames dissipated, the sea calmed down again, and the high-spirited siren also subsided, Archbishop Brandon shook his head: "Forget it, it seems that the mermaid has left this sea area, we are not in good luck, we have nothing to say, we all go back to sleep Well, set sail for Paris tomorrow."

After working hard for most of the night, they returned without success. Everyone was not in high spirits, and walked towards the cabin with dull heads. Ma Wei stepped into the cabin with one foot, and suddenly his body trembled and he clutched his chest.

The magic wooden box trembled rapidly!
At the same time, Junia raised her head, and Melissa and Archbishop Brandon looked behind, and saw a man with a strong figure and loose hair standing on the bow deck of the ship under the bright moonlight, holding Holding a trident covered with barnacles, his long black hair was dripping with drops of water, and a pair of pale golden eyes stared coldly at the people who were about to enter the cabin, while his lower body
It turned out to be a fish tail!
Sirens!

"Everyone. Mermaid!" A sailor didn't know whether it was because of excitement or fear, his voice was trembling: "The mermaid has appeared!!!"

The legendary mermaid was right in front of him. Archbishop Brandon couldn't hide his agitated mood, but he didn't dare to act rashly for fear of scaring him away.

Mermaids will not act alone, as long as one is found, there will be a group behind it!

There was the sound of splashing water on both sides of the warship, and the sailors standing on the watchtower saw countless creatures with human bodies and fish tails jumping under the sea surface. They surrounded the Dickie, not knowing what to do.

After confronting each other for a while, Archbishop Brandon couldn't help himself. He glanced at Saint Melissa, stroked the golden ring on his hand, and exchanged glances with the surrounding demon hunters and bishops, intending to catch her with lightning speed. Live in the mermaid on the boat, and then capture the mermaid under the boat.

At this moment, the mermaid who jumped onto the deck seemed to see what Archbishop Brandon was thinking, smiled strangely, turned around and jumped into the ocean, everyone rushed over and found that the mermaid was swimming straight ahead, and seemed to be about to escape.

"Not good! They want to escape! Hurry up!"

The sound of the siren echoed in the night sky, and the Dickie was fully powered, chasing the mermaid shoal ahead, and the giant spears shot out one after another, but they still couldn't hit the nimble mermaid. The two sides gradually went deep into the sea one after the other.

"Brother, the situation is wrong." Levin whispered, "Why don't the mermaids flee to the deep sea, instead they have to run forward? The ocean is their home field, and no matter how fast the Dickie is, it can't catch up with them!"

"They're trying to lure us into the depths of the ocean"

Ma Wei took out the compass, looked at the sun and stars in the sky, and began to measure the direction, and found that they were far away from the land.

"Brandon Archbishop! This is a mermaid trap! We can't chase anymore!"

"I know this is a trap." Archbishop Brandon, who was standing at the bow of the ship, said: "The mermaids are very fast, and the current human ships cannot catch up with them, but now we are biting them tightly. The answer is only They may be trying to lure us on purpose."

"Since you know, why do you still pursue it?"

"Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Archbishop Brandon said excitedly: "I counted just now, and there are at least a few hundred mermaids! If we can catch a few and bring them back to London for reproduction, it will be of great benefit to the church benefit?"

"But we don't know anything about the mermaid's trap!" Ma Wei retorted: "If we keep chasing like this, who knows what will happen! We are rapidly approaching the sea of ​​death!"

Archbishop Brandon nodded: "The Dead Sea cannot be entered, it is a taboo for sailing, so let's chase after a while, once we get close to the Dead Sea, we will stop chasing."

Mavi can see that Archbishop Brandon is not ignorant of the mermaid's trap, he just wants to rely on the saint Melissa, or the evil goddess Tilde who can descend at any time, to defeat the mermaid's plot head-on!

If the Siren's Tears could be used, these mermaids would have no room to escape. Ma Wei had already controlled the sea water to imprison them, but Archbishop Brandon and others were present, so he couldn't make a move.
"It's okay, Nicholas." Archbishop Brandon comforted: "The goddess of evil, Tilde, can come down forcibly. With the goddess, there is nothing to fear from the mermaid's trap."

With the medium of the saint, the goddess of sin, Tilde, can indeed descend, but it also depends on the way of descending.

The first method is the ordinary god descending, only the projection descending, allowing Tilde's will to control Melissa's body, the farther away from the god's position, the weaker the power that can be borrowed.

The second way is to forcibly descend, just like Anatole at the beginning, by dedicating the soul and body of the saint to guide Tilde's real body to descend, at the cost of the saint Melissa's soul and soul.
Obviously, in order to catch the mermaid, Archbishop Brandon thought of sacrificing the saint Melissa. Perhaps in his view, the saint is a consumable. After one is used up, there will be another, which is inexhaustible. Inexhaustible.

The fleet chased the mermaid swarm until the next morning, when the sun slowly rose from the skyline, the pursuit was not over yet, many sailors were exhausted and sleepy, and the merman swarm ahead showed no sign of slowing down.

"In half an hour at most, we must return."

Captain Joshua came to the deck with bloodshot eyes, and said to Archbishop Brandon: "Now we have deviated from the safe channel, and we will enter the dead sea in half an hour. It is almost the end."

Archbishop Brandon was a little reconciled, but he also understood in his heart what would be the consequences of entering the sea of ​​death rashly. Even with the protection of the goddess, it would be difficult to escape from the forbidden area of ​​death shrouded in storms.

"Archbishop! The speed of the mermaid has slowed down!"

Hearing the sailor's shout, everyone looked up, and sure enough, the mermaid school was no longer as active as before, their speed slowed down a lot, the fleet had rushed into their ranks, and the tails of the fish could be clearly seen swaying under the sea surface.

"They're exhausted!"

Archbishop Brandon's eyes lit up, and he was about to order the capture of the mermaid, when he suddenly heard the second prince's trembling voice: "Whale, whale!"

"Whale? What whale?"

Archbishop Brandon looked in the direction that the second prince was looking at, and found a group of whales swimming fast near the dead sea covered by storm clouds in the distance. There were humpback whales, blue whales, and sperm whales, all kinds of strange things.

Seeing the whales approaching rapidly, Joshua's pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly remembered the Royal Navy that was attacked by unknown creatures two years ago.

According to survivors, whales were also seen before they were attacked!
