In the underground prison of St. Basil's Cathedral, two birdmen were hung from the ceiling, their heads hanging feebly, and they wailed from time to time.
After being injected with mercury blood, no matter how powerful the extraordinary creature is, it will be at a loss and lose its ability to resist. Even the vampires cannot avoid it, let alone the two birdmen?
"The Great Pope, identified by their feathers and other features, they should be the bird people from the Everett Crater."
A bishop stood next to Ma Wei with an investigation record and reported that there were also differences between volcanoes. At first, the Church of Truth drove away those who disobeyed, including the birdmen. Although they did not kill them all, they also drove them to a fixed location.
Private land.
The Everett Crater is one of the birdman's private areas. It is located in the northeastern corner of Siberia. It is surrounded by many extraordinary creatures that have also been expelled. The living environment is harsh, but it is not difficult to survive.
As long as the Birdmen bow their heads and are willing to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Church of Truth like the Seran and the Blood Tribes, they will be able to gain more living space, but in the end they will not surrender...
If you don't give in, don't give in, Ma Wei doesn't care.
"The birdman from the Everett Crater actually ran to Mosk silently... What does the high commissioner in charge of sealing off that area do to eat?"
Extraordinary creatures are ferocious beasts that can easily take away human lives. If they are ignored, countless innocent people will suffer. Setting up restricted areas is not only to protect humans, but also to protect them from being driven to extinction by poachers from other churches.
.
"Comprehensive alert has been launched over there, and the search for the relevant responsible persons has begun..." the bishop said quickly.
"never mind."
Ma Wei, who understood the methods of these people, did not continue to pursue the case. Although the person who blocked the restricted area was the Aurora Society commissioner, people always protect themselves subconsciously. When faced with danger, escaping has almost become an inevitable option.
There are only a few people who dare to face mistakes.
Instead of waiting for a random commissioner over there to take the blame and come up with a set of nonsense to fool themselves, it is better to hammer it out and let them take a lesson.
What's more, the birdman was able to escape from the private area this time, probably with the help of the ancient god forces. If this is the case, it would be excusable for the Aurora Society's senior commissioner to miss.
"Aren't they still willing to answer?"
Ma Wei asked as he looked at the two dying birdmen.
"Since they were captured, they haven't said a word, no matter how we interrogate them."
"Isn't there veritaserum?" Levin said.
"The necks of the birdmen are very flexible. They can seal their throats. Even if we inject truth serum directly into the stomach, they can still control their throats and not make any sound." The bishop was helpless.
Veritaserum also has a weakness. It can make the other person say what they are thinking, but it cannot control the other person's behavior, such as covering their mouth.
Of course, the Church of Truth will not let Birdman use clumsy means like covering his mouth, but he cannot resist the fact that Birdman has the talent to control his muscles, just like a turtle shrinking into its shell to resist external dangers.
"Have you had a gender test?"
"One male and one female. The female bird is pregnant..." The bishop asked, "Do we need to torture him?"
Ma Wei has a better method than torture.
He asked people to put the two birdmen down and take them to different rooms. They could not see each other and could only hear the sound.
Ma Wei stood still in front of the female bird: "I know you can understand what I say, and I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you tell me the purpose of coming to Mosk, I will let you go back."
The female bird injected with mercury blood panted weakly. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Ma Wei, refusing to say anything and fighting to the end.
"Don't want to say it? It doesn't matter, just shut its mouth."
The two monks stepped forward and tied the birdman's beak, then looked at Ma Wei, waiting for the next instruction.
"Has the bird whispering expert arrived?"
"When we arrive, we'll wait outside."
"Call in."
"yes!"
The bishop turned and left, and after a while, he came back with an old professor wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The languages used by extraordinary creatures are different, and they all have a separate language system. Research on them is also a science.
The reason why Ma Wei judged that these two birdmen could speak human language was because they had been lurking in Mosk for a long time. Since they had to carry out a mission, how could they not speak the local language?
Illiterate and unable to speak, how did they avoid being discovered?
I can definitely speak human language, I just don’t want to.
"Can you speak the language of Avitt Birdman?" Ma Wei asked the old professor.
The old professor pushed up his glasses and said: "Yes, the language logic of the Avitt Birdman is not complicated. They usually rely on calls to communicate, so it is easy to collect information... I have been studying them for two and a half years, although I can't say
Proficient, it is not difficult to at least imitate a few sentences, such as..."
"Don't say it now."
Ma Wei raised his hand to stop the old professor and glanced at Levin.
Levin, who understood clearly, took out the Siren's Tears and stepped forward to hold the old professor's shoulders. "Next, I will turn you into a birdman exactly like it, and the voice will be synchronized. You have to use its voice to match that of the male next door."
Birds communicate, understand?”
"understand...."
After activating the Siren's Tears, the old professor's hands quickly turned into sharp claws covered with feathers. His body became huge, his legs bulged like mallets, his strong muscles were covered with long feathers, and there was an obvious bunch of feathers on his chest.
of white hair.
The easiest way to determine the gender of an Avitt bird is to look at the chest. If there are white feathers, it is a female bird, and if there is no white feathers, it is a male bird.
Seeing the human in front of her turn into her own appearance, the female bird whose beak was tied widened her eyes and struggled violently.
"do not move!"
The monk firmly pressed the female bird's wings and pinned her to the ground, unable to move.
"The next step is up to us."
Ma Wei told the old professor who had transformed into a female bird: "After hearing the wail of the male bird, you let out the wail of a couple and called us over. Do you understand?"
The old professor nodded.
In the prison next door, the male bird, which was much bigger and taller, was not as weak as the female bird. He had a fierce look in his eyes and stared at the monks who tied him up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's actually pregnant, haha..."
Voices came from outside the door, and then Ma Wei walked into the room with Levin, looking at the male bird with a half-smile, and asked in a routine: "If you tell the purpose of sneaking into Mosk now, I can let you go back.
"
The male and female birds showed the same disdain in their eyes, and they would rather die than surrender.
Mawei admired their courage, and then asked someone to bring kerosene and pour it on the male bird's head little by little until the kerosene completely soaked the feathers and not a drop was left, and then he stopped.
Crack!
The lighter lit up the flame and threw it at his feet. The flames instantly rose and engulfed the male bird.
"cracking--"
"cracking--"
The male bird rolled in severe pain and let out a painful cry. The flames burned its feathers black and burned its skin until it festered. It was quickly repaired by the immortal realm, and the process repeated...
"Squeak! Squeak!"
When the old professor heard the scream of the male bird, he immediately imitated the female bird and started calling. The call was short and rapid, full of anxiety.
"The Great Pope!"
A monk quickly walked into the prison cell and whispered a few words into Ma Wei's ear. Ma Wei thought for a moment, nodded, and ordered someone to extinguish the flames on the male bird.
"I agree to its terms."
Ma Wei looked at the dying male bird with cold eyes: "You will return to Mount Everett under the escort of the Aurora Society, so you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, they ignored the male bird, which had only a bare body and looked as ugly as a pheasant. Ma Wei, Levin and others went to the prison next door. Several monks set up the male bird and carried it out.
Birdmen's hearing is very strong, many times stronger than humans. They should be the race with the strongest hearing among all extraordinary creatures. Ma Wei knew that the male bird could hear the conversation between him and the old professor, so he gave a signal.
"Say it."
"Zhizhizhi..."
"I've put it back."
"Squeak!"
"Yes, there is also your unborn child, and I will ensure its safety. But if you die, I have to give an explanation to the believers."
"Zhizhizhi..."
Upon hearing this conversation, the male bird, which was held up by several monks, suddenly struggled, fell to the ground, and let out a piercing scream in the direction of the prison.
In the prison cell, the old professor glanced at the door and made a sign of success to Ma Wei.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
After changing the old professor back to his original state, Ma Wei took him to the male bird and said impatiently: "You are no longer needed now! Get out of here!"
"Zhizhi...I...I have information!"
The male bird uttered human words and crawled at Ma Wei's feet, "Let my wife go, let my children go... I will say anything!"
"What you can provide, your wife can also provide, so what do I need from you? Get lost! Throw it out!"
The monk rushed forward, but was knocked back by the male bird. It still had some strength and wanted to resist, but when it saw Ma Wei's indifferent eyes, a chill arose in its heart.
To resist is to die!
It is not afraid of death, and is even ready to die. But if his wife sacrifices her life for him to live, how can he give up on his wife?
Thinking of this, the male bird lowered his head, put down his bare wings, and made the most humble gesture: "I am the son of the patriarch. I was also present during the communication. I know things that my wife doesn't know!"
"Well...if you drink it, I can consider letting your wife go."
A bottle of truth serum was handed to him, and the male bird picked it up without hesitation, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
"It is said that Avitt bird people value their partners, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."
Ma Wei smiled slightly: "Who is in contact with you?"
"I don't know the other person's name. I only know that the other person is wearing a ruby ring."
The male bird said: "Three months ago, it came to our tribe, easily defeated the most powerful bird man in the tribe, and met the leader of the tribe, who is my father..."
"It tells us that as long as we are willing, it can help us sneak into Mosk, assassinate Archpope Mavi, and take revenge on the Church of Truth."
"You hate me so much?"
"The Church of Truth took away our home!" the male bird said with red eyes: "Now you want to take away my wife! How can we not resist! You are the invaders!"
"Obviously it was humans who established a country on this land, so why did they become invaders?" Levin retorted: "It was you who suddenly appeared, posed a threat to humans, and refused to accept the church's invitation, so you were attacked.
Expelled!"
"We Birdmen existed long before you established a nation on this land!"
"Even if it's like this, humans have never harmed you! We are willing to coexist peacefully with you! You might as well go out and have a look! Apart from the Church of Truth, which other church is willing to accept you?"
Levin was a little angry: "This is not charity or sympathy! You say that the volcano is your home, that's okay! We respect you! But should you give us the same respect? Is it difficult to sign a non-aggression treaty?"
The male bird stared at Levin and looked very unconvinced: "That is our home. Why do we have to sign a non-aggression treaty with you to continue living there? Why?"
"Just because your fists are not strong enough!" Levin sneered: "We can kill you all and cut off your inheritance. This is how you treated humans in the past! Today we are stronger. Not retaliating is already giving in. What else do you want?
Pushing the envelope even further! Do you really think that the church is just for food?!"
Before the birth of the God of Faith, extraordinary creatures continued to attack humans with their innate power, forcing humans to hide and migrate. It was not until the Alchemy God Tree appeared that humans hid in the tree and had some breathing space.
At the end of the Age of the God Tree, humans used the fruits of the Alchemy God Tree to create the God of Faith. From then on, they rewrote the fate of the weak and launched a counterattack against extraordinary creatures.
For tens of thousands of years, times have changed, and there are not many ancient extraordinary creatures left, all of which have been killed by humans. The extraordinary creatures that appear later have no idea of their past history...
The Avite Birdmen are one of the ancient extraordinary creatures. They live near the crater and are far away from the cities built by humans. The conflict that broke out was not obvious. However, with the development of science and technology, human cities continued to expand, and they lived in the crater.
The birdmen are getting closer and closer, and the conflicts are gradually increasing.
This time, the ancient supernatural creatures can no longer drive humans away with their innate power. Instead, it is humans' turn to drive them away.
Levin couldn't understand why the male bird was dissatisfied since the world of extraordinary creatures followed the rule of the strong!
Isn't it a fist fight?
Then give it a try!
The male bird was speechless by Levin's impassioned speech. He wanted to refute but could not find a breakthrough.
It is indeed the birdman who first rejected the olive branch offered by humans and had to use his strength to speak for himself.
In the beginning, they were humans who used their strength to drive them away. Now the situation has changed and it is humans who are driving them away!
There can never be a difference between right and wrong on this issue.
There is no right or wrong in the rule of respecting the strong. If you are strong, you are right!
This is unfair to the people at the bottom.
That's why Ma Wei wants to build a society with a new order and welcome extraordinary creatures to join.
Even if in essence, Ma Wei still relies on strength to forcefully establish new rules, and it is still a rule that the strong is respected, but at least he, the 'strong man', is willing to give the weak more opportunities!
As long as the new rules are integrated into people's hearts, more and more followers will be born!
