Just as Todd was busy resettling the mermaid tribe, a rare craze was also set off in Muxi City because of the arrival of new neighbors.

When I come to the tavern again tomorrow, guests gathered next to the captain who returned from sea, listening to the latter talking about the peerless face and graceful figure of the mermaid.

"Swear to the balance of fate! All I say is true!" The middle-aged captain with a burp, whispered loudly, "I used to hear my father say that he would occasionally encounter mermaids while sailing on the sea. They had songs that could attract people's souls and beauty that made people unable to extricate themselves. I used to think that these are nonsense, but a few days ago, I went to the island of Chiliu and saw the living mermaids, and realized that the legend was true!"

A very young scholar asked curiously: "How beautiful are mermaids?"

The captain grabbed the back of his head with his big hand and said distressedly: "I can't read, and I can't learn the praises in the book. I just saw the mermaid and felt like my whole chest was burning with fire. That face, that figure, that chest..."

The young scholar listened to the passionate and bloody voice: "Are those mermaids more beautiful than those elves professors in the university?"

An elderly man pushed the young scholar with his elbow and reminded him with a serious look: "Pay attention to your words! The Holy Sect Army is a servant of the Dragon God, and it is not the object of your joke!"

The young man shrank his neck and nodded slightly.

After looking at the old man's clothes and accessories, the captain asked with some concern: "Will we discuss mermaids like this, will there be suspicion of blasphemy?"

The old man touched his gray beard and shook his head and said, "I heard that those mermaid gods are an ancient ocean god named Kraqushu... As long as they have nothing to do with the Dragon God, you can say anything."

Upon hearing this, the captain suddenly felt excited: "Then I will continue to say it. I heard that the Holy King planned to build a trading post on the island, introduce some merchants in the city to trade with the mermaids..."

The young scholar was puzzled: "Doing business with mermaids? They come from the ocean, where do they have coins to buy goods?"

The captain rolled his eyes to the scholar: "Are you stupid to read? Those mermaids, whether they are clothes or accessories, are genuine pearls and seashells. They can be taken out as they like and can be sold at a big price in the market!"

The scholar suddenly realized.

The captain touched the stubble and said helplessly: "It's a pity that such a business must be designated by the royal family. If you want to participate in it, you're just a dream..."

"Don't take money too seriously. After you die, these things will not follow you to heaven, nor will they have any impact on the balance of fate." The old man looked at the crowd and sighed: "Do you still remember what happened three years ago? When a mortal has money, he mistakenly thinks that he has power comparable to a god and tries to challenge God's authority, but in the end it is just inconspicuous dust."

The old man's words made the people around him silence.

The captain hummed for a long time, and finally couldn't help saying, "Although money is not a good thing, if you don't have money, life will not be able to go on. You need money for meals, accommodation, and boat repairs. Even if you want to find a girl to relieve your boredom, wouldn't it still cost money?"

The old man looked up and down at the captain, touched his beard and said, "Depending on your age, I'm afraid you're not young, right? Haven't married yet?"

After hearing this, the captain was a little annoyed, but considering the old man's identity, he had to lower his voice and said: "I originally planned to marry a wife at the beginning of the year, but after watching the mermaid today, I was bored when I saw other women."

Someone among the onlookers started to cheer: "I heard you say this, do you still want to marry a mermaid home?"

The captain widened his eyes and shouted, "What's wrong?! It's rumored that a mermaid came ashore and finally formed a family with the sailors?"

Another person asked loudly: "Let's not talk about appearance for now, but think about the appearance of a mermaid, how do you plan to have a baby?"

The captain was stunned, and then whispered: "It's okay to have feelings, a child can adopt one at most..."

The young scholar finally got a chance and took the opportunity to tease the captain and said, "In my opinion, it is probably not a problem of emotions at all. You just have a crush on the face and figure of the mermaid!"

The angry captain yelled at the scholars while knocking hard on the table: "What's wrong with the love of beauty? To be honest! When you were in school, did you never think about marrying an elf woman?!"

"I..." The young scholar spoke for a moment, his face flushed and at a loss.

This immediately made everyone around him react. It turned out that this kid really had this idea.

"Young man, very courageous! Promising!"

"If you really marry an elf woman and go home, don't you be afraid that she will burn the whole house when she gets angry?"

"Is it Gabriel, a professor of paleontology? I like her too!"

"I heard that elves live much longer than humans."

"The rumored elves seem to be only interested in academics."

Listening to the miscellaneous discussions, the stereotyped old man looked amused and crying. Finally, he closed his eyes and pretended to be inaudible.

The bar owner standing behind the bar suddenly coughed twice inappropriately.

Everyone followed the sound and the bar owner wiping the glass of wine while opening his eyes and turning his head toward him.

Only then did people find that beside the table in the innermost part of the bar, there was a human, an orc, a werewolf and... an elf...

And the beautiful elf woman in a big red tight robe was now looking over with an angry face.

The crowds that were originally gathered together were so scared that their faces looked like earth, and they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Barbara slapped the wine glass hard on the table and said angrily: "It's really! Is it so difficult to drink a good wine these days?"

Randall looked at the embarrassment when everyone fled, shook his head and smiled: "After all, this is a bar, and there are always all kinds of people gathering."

The werewolf Aldenan gnawed the chicken legs in his hand, looked at the orc beside him, and asked, "The mermaid is really as beautiful as they said?"

Carroll raised his neck and first poured a large glass of dark beer, then responded in a muffled voice: "I don't know."

"You were on the scene of the Yali Island a few days ago. Didn't you go and take a closer look at the group of mermaids?"

Faced with the werewolf’s questioning, Carroll threw a piece of shrimp cake into his mouth and shrugged: “I didn’t care.”

"Damn... I'd better go for you if I had known you were like this..."

Randall reached out to stop the quarrel between the two: "Tell me the matter, I believe you should have heard of the matter in Esaiya Village."

"A group of fanatical believers from the Church of Heavenly Father broke into the Protestant village in the middle of the night, massacred and burned it, and even the babies in their infancy were not spared!" Due to anger, Barbara's light blue tattoo began to become brighter and brighter like a stream of light, and faster and faster: "A bastard who is worse than beasts!"

Aldernan lowered his voice and said, "The so-called fanatics of the Father Church are just the official statement in the local area. I guess the person who takes action is the direct troops of the church."

Randall nodded: "Originally, the dispute between Protestantism and the Father Church was still stuck on the verbal punishment. Now it seems that the Father Church can no longer sit still. They have begun to use more despicable means to try to intimidate and threaten those who want to convert to Protestantism..."

Barbara whispered: "The Holy King cannot ignore such a thing."

Randall sighed: "In fact, the Holy King has been looking for opportunities to attack the Church of Heavenly Father, and this incident gave the best opportunity... wait..."

Suddenly, the four people at the table closed their eyes at the same time.

After a few seconds of silence, the four of them slowly opened their eyes and looked at each other.

Barbara couldn't help but speak, "Just in the kingdom of heaven, I heard the order from the Holy King... But I heard it right? Three days later, there will be a judgment against a member of the Holy Cult Army?!"
