Chapter 244 of the main volume of Father Ma Wei: Meeting and recognizing each other, "They are all male?!"
In the bottom of the warship, Archbishop Brandon stood frozen in place as he looked at the mermaid in front of him with a sinister look and a gaping tooth.
As soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, he knew what was strange.
The appearance of these mermaids was different from what he imagined!
Whether it is local legends or records in ancient books, mermaids are beautiful and charming. They have clear and melodious singing voices, which everyone dreams of. Why is the mermaid in front of us different?
Look at their muscles and their height of more than two meters. They are almost stronger than the world's top boxers!
"We are so unlucky."
Archbishop Brandon sighed: "We didn't catch a single female mermaid, only four males."
Ma Wei looked at him strangely: "We can only catch male fish, but not female fish."
"Why?"
"Because they are sirens, their gender is equivalent to human males."
"It is clearly recorded in the classics that mermaids are divided into genders! The Sirens are mermaids, so why are they all male?" Archbishop Brandon asked doubtfully: "Is there an error in the classics?"
"Mermaids do have genders, but the specific situations described by different recorders are different. More information needs to be consulted for verification. The content in a book may not be completely correct."
Licking his lips, Ma Wei explained: "There are two types of mermaids, one is the siren, and the other is the water demon Siran. The sirens live in the sea, which are the ones we encountered, and
Water monsters live in freshwater areas. Only when the breeding season comes, they will leave their homes and swim along the waterway into the sea to find partners in the coastal waters to breed and mate."
"A mermaid will only have one partner in its life. When the partner dies, the other one will disappear in a short time. The siren is cruel and murderous. Although it rarely attacks ships, anyone targeted by the siren will
The fishing boats will be submerged in the sea under their siege."
"This is also the reason why people regard Siren as a mermaid. Almost all the humans who saw the Siren tribe died! A few survivors are not enough to shake the foundation of the legend! It can only be tempting to add a mermaid on the basis of the legend.
The additional annotation that the sailors dragged them into the deep sea and killed them is used to remind people living on the seaside that after all, most of the mermaids encountered by humans at sea are cruel sirens."
"oh"
Archbishop Brandon understood: "So, these sirens we captured are also mermaids, right?"
"Yes, they are indeed mermaids."
"They must have a partner to reproduce? Can they be of the same sex?"
"."
Seeing Ma Wei's surprised, puzzled and shocked eyes, Archbishop Brandon snorted: "If it doesn't work, it won't work. Don't look at me like that."
How can people of the same sex reproduce?
If same-sex people can reproduce, why do the Seran people have to travel all the way from the interior?
These are common sense, but applying common sense of human life to extraordinary creatures does not seem to be applicable.
"Ahem." Archbishop Brandon cleared his throat and said: "If you can't reproduce, you can't reproduce. Although it's a pity, there is no way. Let's look back and see if there is a solution. Well. Nicholas, get the mermaid tears.
If you have experience in this matter, I’ll leave it to you.”
"Me?" Ma Wei frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Come and squeeze the tears out of them!" Archbishop Brandon said confidently: "As a potion merchant, you must have similar experience, right?"
"You think too highly of me." Ma Wei slowly shook his head: "A mermaid will only shed one tear in its life, and that is when its partner dies. In addition, even if they are skinned and cramped, they will not get tears.
.”
"Well" Archbishop Brandon stroked the beard on his chin and rolled his eyes: "Will the Sirens fall in love with humans?"
"You mean cross-species love? I think it is possible. After all, there are legends of love between mermaids and humans in many places." Ma Wei said calmly.
Archbishop Brandon slapped his thigh and said, "That's easy! We can use the Enchanted Flower!"
Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "You mean, a mermaid drinks a love potion and falls in love with a human?"
"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 definitely shed tears, the death of their mate will make them cry, you said so, Nicholas."
Archbishop Brandon is definitely a ruthless person. The reason why he did not show it in front of Ma Wei is because everyone has the same interests. Archbishop Brandon cannot do anything to Ma Wei, but for profitable goals
He showed his terrifying side.
According to Archbishop Brandon, it was obvious that he wanted to use the Obsession Flower to turn the mermaid into a tear-producing tool, but this behavior was too cruel. If used once, at least one human and one mermaid would be killed.
"Or we can force the mermaid to submit by torturing women. The effect of the infatuation potion is very powerful. It can make the user fall madly in love with themselves. Well, Nicholas, have you brought the infatuation flower?"
"No, my obsession is spent in London."
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Wei asked: "As a clergyman, is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Archbishop Brandon said disapprovingly: "There are many female prisoners in prison, including many on death row. They are destined to die. In this case, why not shine one more time and serve mankind before the end of their lives?
How about making some contribution?”
"As for the mermaids, there is no need to pity them, especially the Sirens. Even Nicholas yourself said that they are cruel and murderous by nature. I don't know how many human fishing boats have been poisoned by them. I do this for the sake of the dead humans.
revenge."
Archbishop Brandon's idea is an absolute fallacy in Mavey's opinion, because from the beginning, Archbishop Brandon's purpose of killing them was not for humans, but for profit and the tears of the mermaids.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In order to cover up his behavior, he does not hesitate to add the label of justice. It seems fair and just, but in fact it sounds dirty and dirty.
Looking for excuses to cover up one's behavior is a normal operation of capitalists, and Ma Wei has long been used to it.
There were no infatuated flowers, and there were no female death row prisoners to wear. Archbishop Brandon's plan could not 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.
Ma Wei and Archbishop Brandon, who are responsible for handling potion matters, are not in London. Even if the mermaid is received, the church will not deal with it easily. Maybe there will be any improvement in the matter?
Leaving the bottom cabin, Mavey and Archbishop Brandon came to the captain's cabin to visit Captain Joshua who was lying on the bed recuperating.
Seeing them, Joshua had no good expression, his expression became more and more indifferent, and he did not want to say a word.
"Captain Joshua, your contribution to the church and the kingdom is obvious to all."
In order not to arouse internal strife, Archbishop Brandon consoled him nicely: "After completing this mission, I will personally report to the king and promote you to rear admiral."
Joshua's expression showed no fluctuation, still cold.
"Well, I hope you can understand that it was really a helpless move at that time." Archbishop Brandon sighed: "I was thinking about the church, but your judgment is also right. We are all right. We just made different choices. I am grateful to you.
You apologize and I sincerely hope you can forgive me."
Archbishop Brandon nodded and bowed to Joshua to apologize. 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 had done everything he could. Even if word spread, his proactive apology would not be condemned by the public. On the contrary, Captain Joshua would be labeled as narrow-minded.
Tag of.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
Joshua looked at Ma Wei and said angrily: "You are not welcome here, get out."
Mawei walked to the door, closed it slowly, turned around under Joshua's confused 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 a gloomy look: "How do you know what cigarettes I smoked before?"
"Not only do I know what cigarettes you smoked before, but I also know the origin of the scars on your face."
"The scars on my face are from bullets, it's no secret."
"Everyone only knows 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 casual conversations.
"let me introduce."
Ma Wei picked up Yunia, pinched her little nose, and at the same time removed the disguising effect of Siren's Tears, and returned to her original appearance: "This is my daughter, you can call her Emma, Emma,
Called Uncle Joshua."
"Hello, brother Joshua!" Yunia didn't call her uncle, she only called Levin uncle.
"Lieutenant!"
Seeing Ma Wei, Joshua became excited all of a sudden. He opened the quilt and got out of bed. Perhaps because his body had not fully recovered or because he was excited, his legs softened and he almost hit the cabinet next to him.
Immediately afterwards, Joshua stood up and looked at Ma Wei in disbelief: "You are back. You are finally back!"
"Long time no see, Joe."
Ma Wei flicked a cigarette over, picked up a lighter and lit it for Joshua. When Joshua lowered his head, he saw a few white strands in the other person's hair, and couldn't help but sigh: "You actually have white hair."
"You are still as young as before." Joshua showed a rare smile: "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, you are much more reserved."
"After all, he is the Pope, so he can no longer act as recklessly as before." Ma Wei smiled and said: "Are you feeling well?"
"Everything is fine, except that the scar sometimes hurts. The doctor asked me to rest more, but I often can't sleep." Joshua said quietly: "As soon as I close my eyes, Afu and the others will appear in front of me, and they will circle around me.
, said nothing, just stood looking at me from a distance. When I lowered my head, there was sea water under my feet. In the shadow reflected on the sea, my right face was dripping with blood. By the way, Tu Lei and the others, do they know you are back?
"
"I have met Tu Lei several times. The reason why I haven't recognized you is that there are too many people and the news will be leaked. The second reason is"
"I think your worries are unnecessary." Joshua said: "Among all the survivors of the Saint-Martial fleet, there are no traitors."
"I hope so." Ma Wei sighed: "There are more than a hundred survivors. Four years have passed and everyone has lived a stable life. It is normal for some people to want to quit. Qiao, when you go back this time, you will all be promoted.
He is a major general, and Toure is just a lieutenant general."
"He made a mistake, otherwise he would have been promoted to admiral long ago." Joshua took a puff of cigarette: "I heard that when you met in the extreme northern waters, he did not give the order immediately, but instead lost the entire crew and
A bishop has been punished by the church, otherwise he would be only one step away from becoming a marshal."
"That old fellow Onandi is not dead yet, so it is impossible for Toure to become the marshal of the navy." Mavey shook his head and said: "It was Onandi who recommended the Saint-Martial fleet to carry out the king's privateering mission, that old fellow.
"
When it comes to Royal Navy Marshal Onandi Patton, Joshua doesn't have a good face, but they just curse him. Everyone knows in their hearts that what really arouses their anger is not going out on a privateering mission, but the kingdom's presence in the Holy Land.
The indifference after the defeat of Martyr's fleet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Toure had not been alive, Rhodes IV would never have come forward to redeem the survivors of the Saint-Martial fleet.
"Let's talk about the past later. Lieutenant, how did you become a potion merchant of the church?"
After activating Siren's Tears, Ma Wei turned into Nicholas again and said: "I can no longer use my previous identity. I can only find another identity to sneak into London. I have already established a line with the fourth prince Arthur. I will wait until the establishment is established."
After the giant alliance, I will go back and run for parliament."
Speaking of the Giant Alliance, Joshua quickly asked: "I'm curious, why did you establish the Giant Alliance to prompt the Kingdom of Windsor to form an alliance with several other powerful kingdoms? The Church of Truth is the state religion of the Romanov Kingdom. Once the Giant Alliance is established,
, the Romanov Kingdom will be isolated, what good will this do to the Church of Truth?”
"The establishment of the Alliance of Giants is indeed a big blow to the Romanov Kingdom."
Ma Wei said calmly: "The various kingdoms in the Central Continent can definitely form a deeper alliance and be united in dealing with the outside world. By then, I am afraid that no kingdom can compete with them."
"You clearly knew this, how could you still do it?"
"Because the next development target of the Church of Truth is not the Central Continent."
Ma Wei moved the land instrument on the table, pointed to the location 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 use its huge size to harvest other kingdoms, which will inevitably attract
The dissatisfaction of other kingdoms is an opportunity for the Romanov Kingdom to develop externally! It is also the so-called distant friendship and close attack!"
"Once I take over the Kingdom of Windsor and the Church of Truth signs alliances with kingdoms on other continents, then the Church of Truth will form a pincer attack from the north and south and surround the Central Continent!"
