Chapter 647 Meet and recognize each other (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"It's all public?!"

In the bilge of the warship, Archbishop Brandon stared at the mermaid with bared teeth and mouth showing a fierce look in front of him.

As soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, he knew what was strange.

The appearance of these mermaids is different from what he imagined!
Whether it is local legends or ancient records, mermaids are beautiful and charming. They have clear and melodious singing voices, which everyone dreams of. Why is the mermaid in front of you different?

Look at the muscles on their bodies and the height of more than two meters. They are even stronger than the world's top boxers!

"Our luck is really bad."

Archbishop Brandon sighed: "Unexpectedly, not a single female mermaid was caught, only four males were caught."

Ma Wei looked at him a little strangely: "We can only catch male mermaids, but it is impossible to catch female mermaids."

"why?"

"Because they are sirens, their gender is equivalent to that of human males."

"It is clearly recorded in the classics that mermaids are divided into genders! The Sirens are mermaids, why are they all male?" Archbishop Brandon wondered, "Is there something wrong with the classics?"

"Mermaids are indeed divided into genders, but the specific situations in the pens of different recorders are different. More information needs to be checked for verification. The content in a book may not be all correct."

Licking his lips, Ma Wei explained: "There are two types of mermaids, one is the siren siren, and the other is the siran water demon. The siren siren lives in the sea, that is, the ones we met. The water demon Seran lives in freshwater areas, and only when the breeding season comes, they will leave their homes and swim into the sea along the waterway, looking for partners in coastal waters to breed and mate."

"A mermaid will only have one partner in its life. When the partner dies, the other one will dissipate in a short time. The siren siren is brutal and bloodthirsty. Although it rarely attacks ships, anyone who is targeted by the siren Fishing boats will drown in the sea under their siege."

"This is also the reason why people only regard Seran as a mermaid. Humans who saw the Seren tribe basically died! A few survivors are not enough to shake the foundation of the legend! Only adding a mermaid to the legend will be tempting The extra comment that the sailors dragged them into the deep sea and killed them is used to remind people living by the sea that, after all, most of the mermaids that humans encounter at sea are brutal sirens."

"Oh"

Archbishop Brandon understood: "So, the sirens we caught are also mermaids, right?"

"Yes, they are indeed mermaids."

"They have to have a mate to reproduce? Is same sex okay?"

"."

Seeing Ma Wei's surprised, puzzled and shocked eyes, Archbishop Brandon snorted: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, don't look at me like that."

How can the same sex reproduce?

If the same sex can reproduce, why do the Seran people travel all the way from the inland?

These are all common sense, but it doesn't seem applicable to apply the common sense of human life to extraordinary creatures
"Cough." Archbishop Brandon cleared his throat and said, "If you can't breed, you can't breed. Although it's a pity, there's no way around it. Let's see if there is a solution. Well, Nicholas, getting Mermaid Tears If you have experience in this matter, I will leave it to you.”

"Me?" Ma Wei frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Come and squeeze your tears from them!" Archbishop Brandon said confidently, "As a potions merchant, you must have similar experience, right?"

"You think too highly of me." Ma Wei shook his head slowly: "A mermaid will only shed one tear in its life, and that is when its partner dies. Besides, even if they are skinned and cramped, they can't get tears." .”

"Well." Archbishop Brandon stroked the beard of his chin, and turned his eyes: "Will the Sirens fall in love with humans?"

"You mean cross-species love? I think it will. After all, there are legends of mermaids and humans falling in love in many places." Ma Wei said frankly.

Archbishop Brandon patted his thigh and said, "That's easy! We can use obsession flowers!"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "You mean, let mermaids drink the enchanting potion and fall in love with humans?"

"That's right! In this way, won't we be able to produce a lot of tears?" Archbishop Brandon said with a smile: "When these mermaids fall in love with the same human woman, we will kill the woman in front of them , they will surely shed tears, and the death of a mate will make them cry, you said, Nicholas."

Archbishop Brandon is definitely a ruthless person. The reason why he didn't show it in front of Ma Wei is because everyone has the same interests. It is impossible for Archbishop Brandon to do anything to Ma Wei, but for a profitable target
He showed a terrifying side.

According to Archbishop Brandon, it is obvious that he wants to use the obsession flower to turn the mermaid into a tear production tool, but this behavior is too cruel. Once used, at least one human and one mermaid will be killed.

"Or we can force the mermaid to submit by torturing women. The infatuation potion is very powerful, and it can make the user fall in love with themselves crazily. Well, Nicholas, did you bring the infatuation flower?"

"No, Infatuation is in London."

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Wei asked, "As a priest, is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?" Archbishop Brandon said disapprovingly: "There are many female prisoners in the prison, many of whom are on death row. They are destined to die. In this case, why not shine again before the end of their lives and serve mankind. Do you want to contribute?"

"As for the mermaids, there is no need to pity them, especially the Sirens. Even Nicholas himself said that they are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. I don't know how many human fishing boats have been killed by them. I did this for the dead humans revenge."

The idea of ​​Archbishop Brandon is absolutely fallacious in Mavi's view, because from the very beginning, Archbishop Brandon's purpose of killing them was not for human beings, but for profit, for the tears of the mermaid.

In order to cover up his behavior, he did not hesitate to add the label of justice. It seems to be upright and righteous, but in fact it is dirty and dirty.

Looking for excuses to whitewash one's behavior is a normal operation of capitalists, and Ma Wei has long been familiar with it.

There is no obsession with flowers, and there are no female death row prisoners. Archbishop Brandon's plan cannot be implemented in the short term. He simply ordered the four captured mermaids to be transferred to another cruiser, and ordered them to return to the Kingdom of Windsor and bring the mermaids back to London. Give it to the church.

Mavi and Archbishop Brandon, who were in charge of handling the potion matters, were not in London. Even if they received a mermaid, the church would not deal with it lightly. Maybe there is a turning point?

Leaving the bilge, Mavi and Archbishop Brandon came to the captain's cabin to visit Captain Joshua who was recuperating in bed.

Seeing them, Joshua didn't have a good face, and his expression became more and more indifferent, and he didn't want to say a word.

"Captain Joshua, your service to the church and kingdom is obvious to all."

In order not to stir up internal strife, Archbishop Brandon comforted: "After completing this mission, I will personally report to the king and promote you to rear admiral."

Joshua's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent.

"Well, I hope you can understand that it was indeed a helpless move at that time." Archbishop Brandon sighed: "I was thinking of the church, but your judgment is also right, we are all right, it's just that the choice is different, I would like to thank you You apologize and sincerely hope you can forgive me."

Archbishop Brandon bowed his head and apologized to Joshua. Seeing this scene, Joshua smiled coldly. What could be more false than this apology?
Crocodile tears are nothing more than that.

After apologizing, Archbishop Brandon left the captain's room. He did everything he could. Even if it spread, his voluntary apology would not be condemned by the public. On the contrary, Captain Joshua would be labeled narrow-minded. Tag of.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Joshua looked at Mavi and said angrily, "You are not welcome here, go out."

Ma Wei walked to the door, slowly closed the door, turned around under Joshua's puzzled gaze, picked up the silver iron box on the table, opened it, took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it smell:
"Somme cigarettes. Didn't you used to smoke the strong flavor cigarettes specially supplied by the Royal Navy?"

Joshua's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said with gloomy eyes, "How do you know what cigarettes I smoked before?"

"I not only know what cigarettes you used to smoke, but also the origin of the scars on your face."

"It's no secret that the scars on my face are from bullets."

"People only know that the bullet tore off the flesh and blood on your face, but no one knows that you poured a bottle of rum on it and tore off your own shirt to bandage it"

"Who are you?! Who told you this?!"

Joshua's voice trembled. In fact, only a few people knew about these seemingly insignificant things, and it was obvious that they would not be mentioned in ordinary chats.

"let me introduce."

Mavi picked up Junia, pinched her little nose, and at the same time removed the disguise effect of Siren's Tears, and returned to her original appearance: "This is my daughter, you can call her Emma, ​​Emma, Uncle Joshua."

"Brother Joshua!" Junia didn't call her uncle, she only called Levin uncle.

"Lieutenant!"

Seeing Ma Wei, Joshua suddenly became agitated, and suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Perhaps because his body had not fully recovered or because of excitement, his legs softened and he almost knocked against the cabinet next to him.

Immediately afterwards, Joshua stood up and looked at Mavi in ​​disbelief: "You're back. You're finally back!"

"Long time no see, Joe."

Mavi flicked a cigarette over, picked up the lighter and lit it for Joshua. When Joshua lowered his head, he saw a few white strands in the other's hair, and couldn't help but sigh, "You actually have white hair."

"You are still as young as before." Joshua smiled rarely: "I can't believe my eyes, you are exactly the same as you were three years ago! It's just that your temperament is a little different, and you are much more restrained."

"After all, he is the pope, so he can no longer act recklessly like before." Ma Wei smiled and said, "Are you in good health?"

"Everything is fine, but the scar sometimes hurts a little. The doctor told me to rest more, but I often can't sleep." Joshua said quietly: "As soon as I close my eyes, Ah Fu and the others will appear in front of me, and they circle around me , didn’t say anything, just stood in the distance and looked at me. When I lowered my head, there was sea water under my feet. In the shadow reflected on the sea surface, my right cheek was bleeding continuously. By the way, Toure and the others know that you are back? "

"I have met Toure several times. The reason why I didn't recognize you is because I was afraid that there would be too many people leaking the news, and the second is"

"I think your worries are unnecessary." Joshua said, "Among all the survivors of St. Matil's fleet, there are no traitors."

"I hope so." Ma Wei sighed: "There are more than 100 survivors. After four full years, everyone has lived a stable life. It is normal for some people to want to quit. Joe, you will be promoted to major general when you go back this time." Well, Toure is only a lieutenant general."

"He made a mistake, otherwise he would have been promoted to admiral." Joshua took a puff of cigarette: "I heard that when you met in the extreme northern seas, he didn't give the order immediately, but instead lost all the crew and A bishop has been punished by the church, otherwise he is only one step away from being a marshal."

"That old thing Onandi is not dead yet, Toure is impossible to become the admiral of the navy." Ma Wei shook his head and said, "It was Onandi who recommended the Saint-Martil fleet to carry out the privateering mission of the king, that old thing. "

Joshua didn't have a good face when he mentioned the Admiral of the Royal Navy Onandi Patton, but they just cursed, and everyone knew that what really aroused their anger was not going out to carry out privateering missions, but the kingdom in St. Indifference after the defeat of Martil's fleet.

Had it not been for Toure still alive, Rhodes IV would never have come forward to redeem the survivors of the St. Matil fleet.

"Let's talk about the past later, Lieutenant, how did you become a potions merchant of the church?"

Launching Siren's Tears, Mavi turned into Nicholas again, and said: "The previous identity can no longer be used, so I can only find another identity to sneak into London. I have already hooked up with the fourth prince Arthur. After the Big League, I'll go back and run for Congress."

Speaking of the Alliance of Giants, Joshua quickly asked: "I'm curious, why did you set up the Alliance of Giants to urge the Kingdom of Windsor to form an alliance with several other powerful kingdoms? The Church of Truth is the state religion of the Kingdom of Romanov. Once the Alliance of Giants is established , the Romanov Kingdom will be isolated, what good will this do for the Church of Truth?"

"The establishment of the Giants Alliance is indeed a big blow to the Kingdom of Romanov."

Ma Wei said frankly: "The kingdoms in the Central Continent can definitely form a deeper alliance and unite with the outside world. At that time, I am afraid that no kingdom will be able to fight against them."

"You know this, why do you still do it?"

"Because the next development goal of the Church of Truth is not the Central Continent."

Ma Wei flipped the terrestrial instrument on the table, pointed out the position of the mainland and said: "The next step of the Church of Truth is the Southern Continent. After the Giant Alliance is established, it will harvest other kingdoms by virtue of its huge size. The dissatisfaction of other kingdoms, this is an opportunity for the Romanov Kingdom to develop abroad! This is the so-called long distance and close attack!"

"Once I take down the Kingdom of Windsor and the Church of Truth concludes covenants with kingdoms on other continents, then the Church of Truth will form a north-south attack and encircle the Central Continent!"
